po walce RJJ vs Tarver:
Both camps state that Jones and Tyson
have spoken at least twice in recent weeks,
including during a chance meeting at a Los
Angeles Lakers game.
"Mike is definitely interested. Both parties
want this fight to happen," Tyson attorney
Stephen Espinoza said. "There are still a lot
of issues to be dealt with, but there has been
contact." Espinoza said the conversations
between Jones and Tyson were "like 'Let's
make this happen, we'll get this done.' They
were friendly and enthusiastic."
"I think it's probably the biggest fight in the
sport right now," HBO's Kery Davis said. "I
think it's a mega event. When you add their
star power to a David-vs.-Goliath element —
big bad guy against small good guy — it's an
intriguing event on every level. I don't know
if it'll happen, but if it does it'll be fun."
"He could have problems of his own, but we
can work a deal," Jones said. "Mike ain't
that difficult to deal with. He isn't like people
think he is. Actually, he is a very intelligent
dude. His legal troubles can be worked
around, trust me."
"I love challenges and Mike Tyson would the
biggest challenge of my career," Jones said.
"I would love that so much you don't even
know."
