An exhibition fight between former heavyweight champions Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr set for September has been moved to November 28, The Ring magazine has reported.

The eight-round fight, originally slated for September 12 as part of a three-hour pay per view event on social media and music platform Triller, had been moved because Tyson's camp felt they could maximize revenue by rescheduling, the report added.

The fight was initially set to take place at Dignity Health Park in Carson, California, without fans present.

Tyson teased fans about a possible return in May when the 54-year-old posted videos of himself training.

In one video, Tyson, the first heavyweight to hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles, was seen hitting the pads with tremendous power and precision before signing off with the message "I'm back".

Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion of all time when he defeated Trevor Berbick in 1986 aged 20. He won 50 of his 58 professional fights before retiring in 2005 after a loss to Kevin McBride.

Jones, 51, who has simultaneously held a record seven belts, last fought in 2018,
