Jones and Tyson will not wear headgear and will wear 12-ounce gloves rather than the standard 10-ounce gloves that heavyweights would wear in an official bout. According to the official announcement of the bout, the California State Athletic Commission has agreed to oversee the fight.
Andy Foster, the executive director of the California commission, told Yahoo! Sports that he did not anticipate an all-out fight.
“This isn’t a situation where they’re going out there to try to take each other’s heads off,” Foster said to Yahoo! Sports. “They’re just going to be in there moving around the ring and letting fans see these legends.”
That is not at all how Jones sees it, or Tyson for that matter, based on the promotional spot Tyson posted to his social media accounts as part of the announcement of the fight.
Jones let out a hearty laugh after being read Foster’s comments, insisting that he would never enter the ring without the intention to go full blast against his opponent.
"Mike comes to that ring and Mike’s coming to kill. When I go in there I’m going in there to kill or die. So you know how it’s gonna go,” Jones said. “(The viewers) are gonna get what they paid for, trust me.”
He said he did not think the fight would go the distance either.
“I don’t think so but we’ll see,” Jones said. “If he doesn’t get me out in the first two, three rounds it’s all on my side. Now he got to survive. I got to survive three. He got to survive five. I think it’s definitely going to come off. Who don’t want to see Mike Tyson against Roy Jones?”
