It is reported that the long-awaited duel between Tyson and Jones will not take place on September 12, as originally planned, but on November 28. The camps of both athletes have agreed to such a change of date.
The initiative to change the date came from the Tyson camp. Representatives of Iron Mike believe that postponing the fight to the weekend, where the United States celebrates Thanksgiving, would significantly increase the profits made by the duel.
ESPN, for its part, reports that it has taken longer for the fight promoters to agree with broadcasters on the details of the broadcasting rights. However, the contracts of both boxers have not yet been officially changed.
Although Tyson himself has said that he is going to kill his opponent and regain his fame in this fight, the head of the California State Athletes’ Commission (CSAC) Andy Foster is of a different opinion.
“We can’t fool the audience by saying this is a real fight. They may struggle a little, but I don’t want anyone to be hurt and they know it. It’s a demonstration. They can show off their boxing skills, but I don’t want them to use their full strength. and injured each other, “said Foster.
With the change of date for Tyson and Jones’ duel, the fight between former NBA player Miss Robinson and Youtube star Jake Paul, which was intended as a warm-up boxing match before the legendary athletes go to the ring, is likely to be postponed.
