translated from Spanish: Postponed: Mike Tyson will be back in the ring on November 28

Early for just over six months and with a physical transformation from Mike Tyson that reminded everyone of his big fights in the late 1980s and 90s, the American was ready to return to the ring at age 54, after 15 years of his retirement, and had a known rival ahead. Roy Jones Jr. was the other visible side of this battle that sparked crowds in Los Angeles, in what was expected to do a great combat event with the presence of many great artists, as well as other kind of opening fights until the arrival of “Iron Mike”.
However, Tyson’s expectations fell in recent days until it was confirmed on Tuesday that the fight was postponed by November 28, due to coronavirus. The explanation has to do with the pandemic but also with the motive behind this exhibition. Beyond re-vibrating with the legend, the famous “Pay Per View” of these fights and a better promotion forced the stop up of all the adventure that aims to raise a few million dollars between prizes and sponsorship. That’s why the Legends Only League (promoter) decided to change the day. However, several of the conditions are maintained, including a stadium without a public and the participation of the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) on the analysis of prohibited substances. In addition, it will be eight rounds, without helmets and with 12-ounce gloves that are usually used for sparring workouts.
