Not Yet Fighting, Tyson Has Cut Off Jones Jr's Ears

JAKARTA - Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. will return to the ring on Saturday night for an eight-round exhibition bout in Los Angeles. Not yet fighting, Tyson has 'cut' his opponent's ear.

Tyson is known as the 'Worst Person on the Planet' and that slanted reputation was further emphasized when he bit Evander Holyfield's ear during their second encounter in 1997.

'Iron' Mike was disqualified for the unsportsmanlike incident. But now, he is mocking himself and Jones Jr.

In the video clip on TMZ to coincide with Thanksgiving, Tyson is seen with his children and introduces a cake shaped like Jones Jr.'s head.

Tyson, in a suit, was asked by his daughter: "What is this?" although it flatly replied that "it is turkey".

His son corrected him even though Tyson said: "Yes he is (a turkey)".

He went straight to the ear and joked that it was: "It tastes a lot better compared to Evander! Roy tastes really good."

Beyond Jones Jr's ear-nibbling video, the former world heavyweight champion insists he is ready to take on current division stars Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder if he ever gets the chance.

Speaking to BT, he recently said of the three: “I thought they were brilliant. They are brilliant fighters. They can do a lot for society. "

"They can have exhibition matches, and get money from exhibitions, because they please so many people, and they can help so many people," continued Tyson.

Meanwhile, no official winner will be announced after the eight-round battle between Tyson vs Jones Jr. at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California is over.

California State Athletic Commission chairman Andy Foster confirmed that the contest would be stopped if Tyson or Jones continued to beat each other, while knockouts would not be allowed.

Tyson and Jones don't have to wear protective headgear, but they will wear the larger 12oz gloves in hopes of minimizing injury.

They will also fight 16 minutes shorter given their age and, especially in Tyson's case, they haven't been in the ring in a long time.
