One in particular story though is a surprise while also being completely right, that Jones Jr will be insuring his ears in anticipation of his comeback fight vs Tyson.

It is an eight-round exhibition bout that will take place in California. Both of the fighters have been told not to go for a knockout win - but Tyson has other ideas.
When asked if he will be hunting for a KO, Tyson told TMZ: "If the opportunity comes, I'm always looking for it."
