Wilder / Fury III is next.
Then the Joshua fights - if Joshua doesn't try to back out.

Can't really see Joshua being able to run away from Fury for 12 rounds like he did with Ruiz.
He'll be outboxed so will have to come in and expose his glass jaw.

Good come back for both.

Tyson will need to be aggressive and use his power, if he's agreed to tippy tappy light exhibition he could get out boxed, Jones is quicker and a better distance boxer.

Tyson is a HW and needs to fight like one, I'll feel bad for him if he goes too soft.

This is a HW vs an overweight Light Heavy weight though, 2 weight classes apart.

I watched a couple of the recent videos of Mike training, and I still wouldn't want to get hit by one of his bomb hooks. Or Jone's overhand right.

Roy's chin has been shot for over a decade and he was knocked out brutally in 2011 and 2015.

I really hope they have agreed to treat the exhibition as such and not throw with 100% power.

Yeah but Tyson hasn't fought for 15 years ffs, Roys at least been active.

All I'm saying is if they go for a boxing match instead of a rough em up brawl then that favors Jones.

Punch out put, speed, agility all goes to the lighter guy, I suppose as a puncher myself I just kind of feel bad for Tyson because I know what's coming, he'll get his ears boxed off ........... unless he decides to put it on Jones then we could see something.

Exhibitions always favor the boxer.

........then again Tyson being Tyson, he could switch at any moment lol.

Wow this really is an exhibition .......... apparently there won't even be judges.

This literally is just a stare at the tiger in the zoo moment, just a cash in.

I'll watch but only because their legends and Tyson vs Roy in their prime is a lost opportunity.

Tyson vs Roy in their primes would have been murder.

That's not when Roy wanted to fight him though, Roy was gunning for him at the tale end of Tysons career when he was on the slide and Roy won the HW title.

I'd of given Roy a decent chance then because he was the master of hitting and not getting hit and Tyson was slower and over weight / muscled by the end, he'd of had a hard time catching Jones, but yes 80's Tyson ......... forget about it.

Yeah the Tyson who lost to Danny Williams or Kevin McBride probably would've been outboxed and gassed against the Jones who beat Ruiz.

But any Tyson pre 2000 vs Roy is a bludgeoning.

Spence vs Garcia.

I wonder if Errol will be the same after the car crash?

Lomachenko vs Teofimo is a banger too.
