Tyson back in the ring at 54, draws with Jones Jr

There were no ringside judges for the fight, between two of boxing's all-time greats, and no official winner. However, the World Boxing Council formed a set of judges that remotely scored the bout.

Tyson, 15 years after his ignominious defeat to Irishman Kevin McBride in the last professional fight of his career, came out firing and was in control of the bout the entire way.

Jones Jr, 51, was the more visibly fatigued of the two fighters but managed to pick up the pace in the later rounds enough to earn the win on one scorecard and a draw on the other while Tyson took the third scorecard.

The two boxers were introduced by legendary ring announcer Michael Buffer, who delivered his famous "Let's Get Ready To Rumble" inside the Staples Centre which was void of fans given the COVID-19 pandemic.
