Mike Tyson will take a significant weight advantage into his exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr tomorrow.

Tyson tipped the scales at 99.9kg, which is less than when he fought Trevor Berbick for the heavyweight title in 1986.

Jones, the former four-weight world champion, just made the heavyweight limit after weighing in at 95.2kg, although his lower weight isn't surprising considering he spent the majority of his career at middleweight.

They will compete in eight two-minute rounds, and the fight has already broken pay-per-view records on US broadcaster Triller.

The fight program is expected to start around 1pm tomorrow.
