Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson will return to the boxing ring for the first time since 2005 on Saturday night in Los Angeles, for a pay-per-view showdown will fellow legend Roy Jones Jr.
Tyson, now 54, and Jones Jr., 51, will take part in the exhibition match, which features some unusual rules.

There will not be judges scoring the fight at ringside, but a panel of former fighters will decide an unofficial winner.
There will, however, be some official fights on the undercard, including a celebrity bout between Jake Paul and former NBA star Nate Robinson, and Badou Jack vs. Blake McKernan.
The Tyson vs. Jones Jr. main card will begin at 9:00 p.m. ET on FITE.tv.
Prelim bouts will begin at 8:00 p.m. ET.
