ROY JONES JR has threatened to pull out of Mike Tyson’s comeback fight following a row over the delay.
The pair signed to an eight-round exhibition bout on September 12.
But social media app Triller, who have the pay-per-view rights for the spectacle, announced it would be postponed 11 weeks to November 28.
And now Jones has taken legal action and warned if he is not compensated for earnings lost then he could walk away from the event all together.
He told the Daily Mail: “We’re trying to figure something out, my lawyers is (sic) talking with their lawyers, trying to figure out ways to make it a better situation so that I can compensated for it, that is more beneficial for me to do.’
“If they don’t make it make sense, it (the fight) would be off.
“Why would I change the date and mess up the rest of my year when I agreed to September 12.”
