Some even hoped the hip-hop star would venture to make another comment.
Tyson set a 50-6 record during his career. But he hasn’t fought since June 2005 when he lost to KP McBride through a corner stoppage. Tyson said after the fight that he “doesn’t have the guts to stay in the game anymore.” His last win came in February 2003 against Clifford Etienne.
Jones ended his boxing career at 66-9 with 47 knockouts. His last fight was against Scott Sigmon in February 2018 in which he won by a unanimous decision.
The fight was part of Tyson’s Legends Only League, which aims to provide a way for past star athletes to play once again.

Late at night, Jack Paul knocked out Paul Le Nate Robinson.
