Mike Tyson returns to boxing in the exhibition match against Roy Jones JR.
“They can get into it a little bit, but I don’t want to hurt people. They know the deal, “he said at the time.

Jones’s suspicions follow Tyson’s comments last month where he called the match “discovery and destruction.”
“This is discovery and destruction and I’m looking forward to regaining my glory,” Tyson told TMZ Sports. “The game of fighting is who I am and I am the one who hurts people.”
