Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. face off and speak their mind

Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. partook in the traditional weigh-in faceoff ahead of their exhibition match that takes place on November 28th, 2020.

Tyson and RJJ engaged in an intense staredown and then posed for the cameras, before heading towards the interview area. The interviews were conducted in accordance with the social distancing safety guidelines, in light of the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic.

RJJ was the first to be interviewed. With regard to recent speculation that he might have made a mistake by accepting the fight against Tyson, Roy Jones Jr. stated:

“I make a lot of mistakes. They say my whole boxing career was a mistake. And I love it. They say I did everything wrong, but it worked out right. So I can’t tell you how to do it. It’s going to probably look wrong. So I know if I try to tell it to you, it’s gonna sound wrong. But it’s gonna turn out right. Trust me.”

Mike Tyson was interviewed second and chose to keep his statements rather succinct. The fight game icon stated:

“I’m pitching punches. And, um, everything else is up to Roy. I’m just…I’m coming at him. He doesn’t have to worry about me. If I’m gonna run anywhere, I’m gonna run right at him.” (*H/T Sportskeeda for the transcription; video courtesy TheMacLife)
