“I Don’t Agree With It”- Frank Warren Slams the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr Fight

Frank Warren expressed his concerns on the Mike Tyson Vs Roy Jones Jr exhibition fight to be held later this month. The promoter has not held back in criticizing the event which will be held at the Staples Center. The fight card will also include YouTuber Jake Paul and NBA star Nate Robinson. However, the English promoter is having none of it.

Speaking to iFL TV on YouTube, Warren said, “Well, it’s not a fight for me, is it. It’s what it is, an exhibition. It’s called an exhibition match; I don’t know what these two guys are going to do when they get into the ring”.

Warren is clearly not mincing his words with regard to the event. He added, “I’m against anybody at that age getting into the ring and fighting. It is what it is. BT have done a deal with them to buy the fight… That’s what they’ve done. I don’t think people of that age should be boxing.”

Many boxing fans will share Frank Warren’s thoughts; there are also many that are excited about the fight.

Frank Warren says Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr don’t need to fight

The outspoken promoter has said that the fight doesn’t make sense for either Mike Tyson or Roy Jones Jr. as they have no need to step into the squared circle again. He said, “I’m not going to come back and say any different. They’ve seen better [days], certainly Mike Tyson has seen much better days.” 

Tyson and Jones Jr, however, are not on board with the restrictions imposed on their bout. In the press conference, the two fighters showed their distaste towards the two-minute rounds. They reaffirmed that they are coming to fight.

The fight is a curious case. It has the capability to deliver a fantastic event; however, it could also go very wrong. Fans will find outcome fight night on www.tysonontriller.com.
