What they said
Mike Tyson
Tyson has been in bullish mood ahead of his fight with Jones Jr and he has drawn attention to his bulging muscles. But he has also looked ahead and he wants to renew his rivalry with Evander Holyfield.
In a recent interview which was published on The Independent, Tyson said: “That’s always something that we can do if the people want it, if it’s pragmatic enough, I’d love to do it.”
Roy Jones Jr
Jones Jr is prepared to put everything on the line and he has admitted he’s not worried about dying.
He said: “I ain’t tripping at all because I know that death is a probability.
“And I know it can happen to me even more going in there with somebody as dangerous as Mike Tyson.
“Problem with me – is why I love what I love and I do what I do is because I love boxing.
“So if I’ve gotta die boxing I’m gonna die a happy man.”
