How Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr match up
The video, published by TMZ , shows Tyson preparing for his eight-round exhibition showdown with Roy Jones Jr, which has been pushed back to November 28.
Tyson and Jones will headline a stacked card that also features Nate Robinson vs Jake Paul and Badou Jack vs. Blake McKernan.
The youngest heavyweight champ of all time has been documenting his progress on his Instagram page, uploading videos and photos of himself in intense training for the fight.
He has been in the gym since March working alongside MMA coach Rafael Cordeiro.
But the California State Athletic Commission has cautioned fans not to expect the bout to be a real boxing fight.
Commission executive director Andy Foster has told the pair to “spar hard” but to refrain from hurting each other, as the veterans have a combined age of 105.
Jones, 51, told Yahoo Sports: “It’s a sparring session, but you have to remember, I’m the small guy here.
“Andy Foster can’t control Mike once Mike gets in the ring. I’ve got to defend myself like I’m in a real fight.

“If Mike goes out there and decides to start hammering, what am I supposed to do, look at Andy? Hell no! I’ve got to defend myself and get back in it.”
Tyson also admitted that he will be hunting for a knockout: “If the opportunity comes, I’m always looking for it.
“This is search and destroy and I’m looking forward to recapturing my glory.”
