The long-awaited return of Mike Tyson is almost upon us.
The "Baddest Man on the Plant" is set to go toe-to-toe with former world champ Roy Jones Jr in a charity boxing bout on November 28 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

But strange contract clauses aside, the charity bout between two boxing legends in their 50s is shaping up to be an interesting spectacle.

And with both men in tremendous shape and eager to make a statement, you wouldn't be surprised to see either fighter push the boundaries with that bizarre 'no knockouts' rule.
