Former professional boxing champions Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. weighed-in on Friday before their much anticipated return to the ring in an exhibition bout on Saturday evening.

Jones Jr. who has a career record of 66-9 (47 KOs) weighed-in at 210 pounds even while Tyson, whose career record stands at 50-6 (44 KOs) tipped the scales at 220.4 pounds.

The main event is a bizarre matchup built mostly on spectacle. Mike Tyson is 54 and with a torso that could belong to an athlete half his years. Roy Jones Jr. is 51 and never got out of shape because he never stopped fighting. The two meet Saturday in a sparring match less about boxing and more of a chance to show age is simply a number.

Also on the card, YouTube phenom Jake Paul takes on former NBA point guard Nate Robinson, a matchup of boxing neophytes that should be light on actual skill but draw plenty of eyeballs from outside the sport.
