Andy Foster, the executive director of the California State Athletic Commission.

“This isn’t a situation where they’re going out there to try to take each other’s heads off,” Foster told Yahoo! Sports. “They’re just going to be in there moving around the ring and letting fans see these legends.”

They do these 'legends' exhibitions in Mexico and usually they're just friendly spars with lots of arm punches

I do wonder if a guy like Tyson can restrain himself if he gets clocked though lol

A guy who got knocked out by Kevin "The Clones Collosus" McBride 15 years ago against a guy who got knocked out by Enzo Maccarinelli 5 years ago. Can't wait!!!

The only confirmed fight on the undercard is between social media influencer and YouTube sensation Jake Paul and former NBA star Nate Robinson.

I can, with Tyson gassed after one and Jones gassed after 3. I envisage a very boring fight with Jones taking a points win.

Aren't exhibitions just move around light sparring bout? Surely they will just carry each other for 8 rounds and be declared a draw....

8 rounds seems a long time for Tyson not to get completely gassed. Doesn’t he usually smoke industrial quantities of cannabis on a daily basis? On the other hand I’d think Jones, only two years removed from retirement, can move around for 8 rounds if he paces himself. Surely 4 rounds might be more sensible?

Tyson’s ran from Holyfield and taken a very easy bout.

Yep, Tyson couldn't make it past six rounds fifteen years ago. I know this will be a more relaxed play around, but still anything could happen. Jones is very fragile and Tyson inadvertantly nearly KOd giant T-Rex Sanders in his last play around exhibition. On the other hand Tyson may not be able to rise up off his stool after three rounds.

One of the most macabre pairings ever!

No shame in getting KO 'd by Enzo. For all his fragilities he could bang.
