Roy Jones, who has been looking forward to facing Mike Tyson in the octagon said, “First, I don’t give a damn what nobody says,’ Jones, 51, said in response to Mayweather. ‘Don’t got anything to do with me. I do what I do, my business is my business. I don’t care what nobody else says. This ain’t got nothing to do with him.

So, he stays over there in his lane and does what he does, let me do what I do. So, you think right now you want to see me perform, you put a belt on the line. I’m sorry, but it’s like drugs. I just can’t say no. You offer me a title, you got me. It doesn’t mean nothing to people like him maybe, but it meant the world to me.” Said Roy Jones.

His opponent, Mike Tyson, who hasn’t been in the octagon for over 15 years could not agree more. Tyson has been training day and night for this fight and is eager to make a comeback. His coach, Cordeiro, has expressed high hopes for him and has also vouched for his incredible shape currently.
