Tyson, Jones Jr to get commemorative belts

Tyson Jones Belt

The World Boxing Council has prepared a unique belt to commemorate the exhibition between superstar champions Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr on November 28. Each fighter will receive one, as a recognition of their innovative efforts to bring entertainment to the world with a great charitable cause during these very difficult and harsh times for humanity.

The WBC Remote Scoring System will be used with three legendary champions scoring the eight round exhibition. The clash is sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission involving thorough medical examinations and with VADA performing the Clean Boxing Program out of competition anti-doping testing to both.

  • I’m glad BOTH will get a belt, probably one of the things I agree with the WBC on.
    Bravo…

    • I was thinking maybe the belt should say “OCLM”; Old Champ’s Lives Matter.

  • You have GOT to be kidding! They actually “went there”? It’s so condescending on the WBC’s part; it’s like they said, “Ooh, both guys are black, so we’ll call it the Black Lives Matter belt so we can pander to them.”

    • The irony would be if one of them actually got badly hurt. Yeah, black lives matter, especially when there is money to be made. Or perhaps the WBC should say, don’t matter, especially if there is money to be made.

    • Exactly what I was thinking. Because I’m black in fighting for the black man’s belt. Wow. Horrendous taste.

  • I’m so tired… Of all of this BS.. Nuff already. We are ALL living out our 1 chance at this thing we call life..Please people.. NO MORE race baiting!!!It is destroying us..We have enough to deal with in this time we have on earth… Can we please stop..

  • Awwww, that’s so sweet: they get participation trophies! Is this fighting or Boxing with the Has-Beens?

  • I’ve been tipped that Riddick bowe parachutes into the ring them proceeds to get a beat down by Jones and tyson

  • If this is a charity event, has this sanctioning body waived their sanctioning fees?

  • Great champs like Tyson and Jones, or for that matter, any old champ, should be embarrassed as hell over something like that dime store looking belt. But they won’t be. What a farce.

  • The WBC is like a two-bit hustler, if 2 fighters go to the toilet, the WBC will create a belt for that. That amounts to more sanctioning fees to their corrupt organization.

  • Jones and Tyson has very little pride, so they will accept that stupid degrading belt.

  • Think they will give each other a belt especially Tyson who will give Jones a belt he will keep forever

  • these are two great champs just having one last rodeo. i am sure that they are aware of the risks involed relating to their age but it it their decision. they deserve to be respected for their accomplishments. it takes courage and hard work to achieve what Mike Tyson and Roy Jones have achieved and if they are still blessed with a belt then good for them and i wish these two great champions everything of the best.
