Furthermore, Tyson said, “I didn’t fight in 20 years, he only stopped fighting for three years… why’d nobody care about my ass?!” As Jones and interviewer Jim Gray burst into laughter, Tyson continued to explain that Jones had retired in 2018. However, Tyson was in better shape and performed better for most rounds.
