MIKE TYSON has been predicted to knock out Roy Jones Jr in their eagerly-awaited exhibition bout this weekend.
The two boxing legends – who have a combined age of 105 – pit their wits against each other at the Staples Center in Los Angeles in eight two-minute rounds.

Tyson, 54, is in incredible shape for the dust-up having lost a whopping seven stone to face his American compatriot.
And Jones Jr, 51, is also looking in peak condition having shared a clip of himself displaying lightning-quick hand speed.
And with fans excited over the contest, YouTuber Martial Mind decided to simulate a match-up between the two on Fight Night Champion.
However unlike Saturday’s fight, the simulated bout involved three-minute rounds instead of 120 seconds.
As expected, the fight was an all-out brawl, as both men went hell for leather as they traded repeated power punches.
Jones Jr was ahead on the scorecards after three rounds, but Tyson then took control – winning every round until he stopped his rival in the ninth round.
The Baddest Man on the Planet pinned Jones Jr in a corner, before unleashing two devastating right hooks to his opponent’s head which ended the fight.
Tyson also knocked out former WBC champion Deontay Wilder in a simulated contest to prove he is the more dangerous puncher.
British icon Ricky Hatton has spoke of his fear that Tyson’s comeback could end in tragedy having not fought since his defeat to Kevin McBride 15 years ago.
And George Foreman has begged Tyson to call off the fight as he stated Iron Mike doesn’t need any more money.
He told World Boxing News: “Tyson has done enough great things for boxing. No more is needed.
“He is in the Hall of Fame and was a mighty puncher.”
