Mike Tyson showed age has not robbed him of his power as the former heavyweight champion, in his long-awaited return to the ring, dominated Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition fight on Saturday in Los Angeles that was surprisingly ruled a draw. “I’m used to doing it for three minutes,” 54-year-old Tyson said of the shorter rounds. “The body shots definitely took a toll,” said Jones Jr. a former world champion in four different weight classes whose last professional fight was in 2018. After the fight Tyson, who was once the most feared fighter on the planet, shot down any idea of making a return to professional boxing. “This is bigger than fighting and winning the championship,” Tyson said of exhibitions where he donates earnings to charity.
