Mike Tyson will get a special visitor to his training camp next week when UFC President Dana White checks out the boxing legend’s routine for an eight-round exhibition against fellow ex-champ Roy Jones Jr.
“I’m flying out probably next week to watch him train,” White told reporters on Friday.
White added he’s “100 percent supportive” of the fight, which takes place Sept. 12 in Carson, Calif., and airs on pay-per-view and the social media platform Triller.
“I’m excited for [Tyson],” the UFC exec said. “He says he’s got that fire, he wants to fight, he wants this, Jones wants it, they’re grown men – I’m 100 percent supportive.
