I guess in two weeks we are obligated to cover the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr exhibition because it’ll likely generate big traffic and people have been getting hyped up watching a 53-year-old Tyson spar and train. Well if we’re going to do that, this week’s Sunday Punch will feature Tyson’s last win as a pro, which occurred 17 years ago on February 22nd, 2003.
Tyson was coming off the KO loss to Lennox Lewis in one of the biggest pay-per-views of all-time. This essentially ended his time as a relevant heavyweight. Nevertheless he did get booked to fight exciting and rising contender Clifford “The Black Rhino” Etienne in Memphis, Tennessee.
