The highly-anticipated meeting of two men in their 50s is almost ready to take center stage on Saturday night in Los Angeles. Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. will lace 'em up once again when they square off in the main event of a PPV card from the Staples Center. Though the fight has been deemed an exhibition by the state commission, Tyson, Jones and the promoters of the bout have said both are going in with the intentions of brawling. While most U.S. sportsbooks won't be offering wagering opportunities on the fight, fans interested in the action still want to know how the fight will play out. So our experts took a shot at guessing what will happen when the pair of legends meet in the center of the ring on Saturday night below. If this were to take place during any other year, Saturday's heavyweight exhibition match between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. would feel as normal as a zombie apocalypse. Yet for better or worse, it's somehow par for the course in 2020. The legendary boxing champions will lace up the gloves one more time inside an empty Staples Center in Los Angeles for an eight-round pay-per-view showdown that is high on nostalgia but short on guarantees that the entertainment value will be worth the price of admission. The central cause of such uncertainty is the California State Athletic Commission's careful handling in putting on the event. Given the combined age of 105 for both fighters and the fact that the 54-year-old Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) hasn't fought professionally in 15 years, the CSAC's precautionary stance makes sense. But it has also created a certain amount of confusion for both the fighters and potential willing customers. CSAC executive director Andy Foster has been steadfast about a select set of non-negotiable provisions including larger gloves (12 ounces) and two-minute rounds, even though the contest will be held without headgear. Yet it's Foster's insistence that there will be no winner and that each fighter will not be allowed to go for a knockout that feels antithetical to the default intention of each competitor. "Who goes in the ring with the great, legendary Mike Tyson and thinks this is an exhibition?" Jones said during the October teleconference to promote the fight. "Twelve-ounce gloves and no head gear and this is just an exhibition? Come on, be for real. Who prepares to face one of the most dangerous knockout punchers in the history of boxing and doesn't prepare for a real fight?" Jones (66-9, 47 KOs), who was active as a professional as recently as 2018, has repeatedly said during interviews that he's not only going for a knockout, he's willing to fight for his life inside the ring against the naturally larger Tyson should the bout call for it. Mike Tyson, once considered "the baddest man on the planet," is returning to the boxing ring Saturday for a highly anticipated bout. Fifteen years after retiring, the former heavyweight champion will square off against fellow boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. for an exhibition fight titled "Frontline Battle." The World Boxing Council WBC will support, commemorate and score the fight. "Despite the isolation and tribulations COVID-19 has caused, Tyson and Jones Jr. have shown us that when a person embraces a positive mental outlook, turns on his or her positive mental switch, all challenges can be overcome which is why we have created a one of a kind commemorative belt created specifically for the occasion," WBC President Mauricio Sulaimán said in a news release. The former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, 54, will go against former four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr., 51. Tyson, the former heavyweight world champion, is considered one of the most feared boxers of all time. He finished his first year as a professional boxer with a 15-0 record, with all wins coming by knockout. "Iron Mike" was 20 years and four months old when he became the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history. He has a 50-6 career record, with 44 of the 50 victories coming on knockouts. He last fought in 2005, when he lost to Kevin McBride. Jones Jr. is a former world champion who sports a 66-9 record. Jones Jr. won his last bout in 2018 against Scott Sigmon. "I'm happy. I get to see what it's like to be in the ring with Mike Tyson before I die," Jones Jr. told CNN. "I'll get the best wishes of my life." .
