    Looks like this is happening.... Reported to be an 8 round exhibition in Los Angeles with both wearing headgear and larger gloves.

    This is so strange. 2 childhood heroes of mine fighting in 2020. Really don't know what to make of this?

    Could this whole thing be scripted, WWF style? Surely it's not real......right?!?

    Very surreal but intriguing given that RJJ's chin is glass now but Tyson hasn't fought for ages and is bang on the weed. Could well be scripted. Anybody know the deal with the gloves and what weight are they using?

    This would have been a great fight....back in 1998. RJJ jumping up to heavyweight when in prime and Tyson on the slide but still a good heavyweight and massive name.

    Will this actually been shown in the UK? I don’t see Sky/BT going near it if it’s somewhat scripted.

    Big Joan Fury must be seething with rage now that Iron Mike has ducked Iron Pike.

    Pair of shot fighters. Enzo Macc would destroy both these bums then call out Michael Moorer.

    Not what I read. I read it's 12oz gloves but no headgear.

    Yeah, i sincerely bet this fight doesn't happen, its one thing for a load of internet fanboys of Tyson and casuals talking about how good he looks on the bag and that he could make a comeback to them paying their own money to watch a PPV exhibition fight with headguards. Suspect that a month out the promoters will realise they are on to a loss and pull the plug.

    It’s just a mess about this. Raise some money, bit of banter, no winner or loser etc.
