Mike Tyson exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr has been pushed to November.
The bout between the two fighters had been slated for September 8.
However, the fight has now been pushed to November 28 to allow the fight gather audience and increase the potential revenue.
The two were set to square off in an eight-round exhibition fight in Carson, California.
Jones believes that the fight, which is being shown on pay-per-view, will prove popular with fans.
He said: ‘People are going to be sitting at home with nothing on TV and nothing to do, and they hear Mike and Roy are fighting, what do you think they’re going to do?’
‘Hell yeah, they’re going to watch. You wait and see. They’ll tune in.’
Tyson’s last fight was in June 2005 when he was beaten by Kevin McBride.
Jones, meanwhile, last fought professionally in February 2018, when he got the better of Scott Sigmon.
