Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr Fight to a Draw in Exhibition Match

Jones and Tyson combined to throw 429 shots with the former landing 37 of 236 punch attempts (15.7%), and the latter landing 67 of 193 (34.6%), according to Compubox data sent to Insider.

After the 16-minute match, which was scored a draw, Jones told the media at a post-exhibition press conference attended remotely by Insider that he’s “tired, but good — I survived it.”

Jones said: “I’m happy to scratch it off the bucket list and move on with my life.”

Speaking specifically about the challenge of coming out of a two-year retirement and 75 pro fights, to take on Tyson, one of boxing’s biggest icons, when both are in their 50s, Jones said: “He hit harder, his hands hurt, his head hurts [my hands], everything hurt that makes contact.

“It makes you so fatigued trying to deal with him on the inside — you have to keep his arm locked up. I learned that from [his] Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield fights; lock his arms up [so he can’t throw] uppercuts.
