MIKE TYSON’S boxing comeback against Roy Jones Jr will cost a staggering £39 on pay-per-view.
After months of teasing a sensational return to the ring on social media, 54-year-old Iron Mike signed the contract last week.
He will fight fellow boxing legend, 51-year-old Jones Jr, on September 12 in California.
And according to The Athletic, fight fans in the US will have to stump up $49.99, around £39, if they want to watch the exhibition bout.
It is not known how much the fight will cost for fans in the UK at the time of writing.
Tyson has been inundated with fight offers since he announced he was coming out of retirement after 15 years.
But it’s Jones Jr that will step into the ring with the former Baddest Man on the Planet first.
The bout will be an eight-round exhibition but the age of its competitors has split opinion.
And even Jones Jr acknowledged the risk of fighting beyond the age of 50, especially against someone with the power of Tyson.
He told World Boxing News: “His legs are huge and his thighs are huge. His arms are huge and his neck is huge!
“It’s very risky, yes. But God’s in control of all.
“[Previously] I was beating everybody in every weight class I was in, so what you gonna do?
“It’s like David and Goliath. He’s a giant monster, we know.
“I’m little David and all I’ve got is God on my side, which is all I’m gonna need.”
Tyson’s opponent last fought in 2018 and is a former pound for pound champ.
