Anthony Joshua has warned former World Heavyweight boxer, Mike Tyson not to come out of retirement to fight again.
Recall that Tyson, 54, and 51-year-old Jones Jr are set to meet in an eight-round exhibition match on September 12, with the former stepping into the ring for the first time since 2005.
Joshua, who insisted that Tyson should fight someone of his age, however, hope that his decision won’t backfire.
“I think it’s for a passion from them both, it’s what they’ve known,” Joshua told Sky Sports.
“Mike Tyson has been fighting since he was like 13 years old, Roy Jones, his dad pushed him to become great.
“Good luck to them both, it’s all they know. They haven’t got to do it to compete with the young lions in the division now.
“We’re bigger, we’re stronger, sports science has improved so there is more technology. The whole sporting world has kind of developed.
“If Mike Tyson wants to come back and fight someone from his era for the love of the sport, crack on, I wish them well.”
