It will be the first time Tyson has stepped back inside a ring since he was stopped by Kevin McBride in 2005.
The 54-year-old has shown off his incredible physique for the contest, while Jones Jr has shared clips of him displaying his iconic blistering hand speed.
Both men will walk away with a commemorative WBC belt following the fight which will be over eight two-minute rounds.
With a combined age of 105, boxing fans believe BT Sport are overcharging supporters to be able to watch their fight on pay-per-view.
This is despite two-weight world champion Badou Jack appearing on the undercard, as well as YouTube star Jake Paul when he takes on ex-NBA ace Nate Robinson.
Meanwhile rappers Lil Wayne, French Montana and Wiz Khalifa are just three musical artists that will be providing entertainment for the event.
However, fans took to social media to speak of their frustration, as one tweeted: “BT should be ashamed of themselves.”
Another commented: “£20 for a 20 minute spar and a s*** undercard, two of the greatest fighters ever but you’re mad if you’re paying that for an exhibition.”
A third added: “F*** me, whoever’s paying that needs their head examined.”
One then said: “Must be joking, it’s better off streaming the fight.”
Venting their fury, another raged: “F****** ridiculous yet I bet plenty of f****** idiots pay it.”
However there were some that spoke of their excitement at the encounter, as one tweeted: “Better fight than Joshua vs Pulev and it’s cheaper.”
Another commented: “Would pay a lot more to go out. And seen as I can’t do that at the mo, might as well buy this and still be quids in.”
A third messaged: “Shut up and take my money already.”
