As reported earlier this week, Hall of Famer Mike Tyson will make his in-ring comeback in an exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr. in September.

The 54-year-old former undisputed world heavyweight champion will face Jones in a bout broadcast on pay-per-view and via social media platform Triller.

Tyson's last fight was a defeat to Kevin McBride in 2005, while Jones, who is 51, has not fought since 2018.

The fight, set over a a distance of eight rounds, is to take place on September 12.

"It's like David a Goliath. He's a giant," Jones said in a video release. "I'm the little David who only has God on my side. That's all I need."

Tyson was undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990 and won 50 of his 58 professional fights, 44 of which came by knockout.

Jones, who expressed interest in a bout with Tyson last month, was a former world champion in four weight divisions and won 66 of 75 career fights.

In the last few years, Jones has been transitioning to the role of a trainer.

And one of the fighters that he currently trains is WBA interim-middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr.

Eubank Jr. revealed on social media that he plans to help Jones prepare for the fight.

"So it’s really happening, Roy Jones Jr. will face off against Mike Tyson on September 12. A fight I never thought I would live to see and now I’ll be helping Roy prepare for it. Who do you guys think will come out on top? I know who my money’s on, y'all musta forgot," Eubank Jr. stated.
