    “There’s no official judges,” Foster said, outlining the rules for this Tyson vs. Jones clash. “The WBC is going to have some guest celebrity judges remotely, not official, not 10-9 [scores], nothing like that. No cumulative score. No winner announced.

    “There’s no winner going to be announced,” Foster said. “I do think that’s very important to get out there. The unofficial scores are for entertainment only and that’s done by the WBC remotely. Not by the commission cause the commission didn’t credential those judges because of COVID. It’s for entertainment purposes only. There’s no official winner at the end of this.”

    Here are the complete rules for this Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. exhibition, as revealed by Foster to MMA Fighting:

    The bout will take place over 8 rounds at two minutes each.
    The boxers will not be required to wear head gear
    Tyson and Jones will be wearing 12-ounce gloves
    If either boxer suffers a bad cut, the exhibition is over.
    Tyson and Jones had to undergo complete medical testing in order to be cleared for the bout and both athletes entered VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency) testing prior to the contest.

      I'm surprised Tyson didn't get caught. He looks juiced up. I know he's a natural athelte and everything but at age 54 to look so jacked, I felt something ain't right.

        No knockouts allowed? How do you enforce that?

          I saw on Sherdog mock bets still up . So if I bet a draw I win since there are no declared winners anyway ?

            No knockouts allowed. This implies that they can't hit each other.

            On the plus side it makes it a lot easier not to buy this.

              You can bet on fight.

              Tyson favored -220
              Jones +170
              Draw +1200 (ill probably bet this)
              Over\Under 7.5 rounds

              I'm not buying or watching though. This weak

                  There's no way I'll buy it. That's what I think of those rules.

                    It's not gonna be a staged fight, or a draw, or some kinda patty cake pitty pat soft slapping sparring. Mike would be clowned so much, he has too much pride for that.

                    It's gonna be a fight, but less rounds and 50% power instead of 100%. Mike still gonna knock him out.
