If you’ve been paying any mind to Mike Tyson on social media, you’ve seen him get back into fighting shape and training.

The fight is slated to take place September 12th at the Dignity Health Sports Park in California. The bout is scheduled for 8-rounds and will be an exhibition match broadcasted on PPV.
