Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr rules: Are knockouts allowed? Will judges score the fight?
The stage set at the Staples Center in Los Angeles for the exhibition bout between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. Jones Jr last fought back in 2018 but this will be Tyson’s first time back in the ring since 2005. Both fighters are now in their 50s which has resulted in a special set of rules being drawn up for the bout.
However, there has been some confusion over what Tyson and Jones Jr can and can’t do.
The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC), who sanctioned the fight, claimed there would be no knockouts.
They also said no judges would be scoring the bout, meaning there would be no winner on the night.
But these claims have since been dismissed by Triller, the broadcaster behind the event.
