Sanders walks to the ring first. He wears headgears. Crowd boos him.
Tyson comes out. Surprisingly he does NOT wear headgears. He wears a ripped up version of the Michael Steele shirt. Kinda reminds to the vintage rope with hole he always wore during his ringwalk.
Round 1
Tyson comes out fast!
Tyson diggs to the body of Sanders with good bodypunches.
Tyson drops Sanders with a flurry to the head!!
Sanders gets up while getting a count.
Some good shots being thrown by Tyson. This doesn't look like a sparring session at all. Tyson is very serious and dedicated to show the crowd something.
Round 2
Tyson using headmovement to avoid shots.
Sanders tries to hold and walk Tyson backwards.
Tyson using vintage body-head combos.
Good action by Tyson. Flashbacks of the young Mike Tyson occur to me right now while watching.
Round 3:
Sanders leaning on te rope while Tyson gets in hard shots to the body and head.
Sanders holding Mike a lot. Tyson wrestles out of it and gets in hard punches.
Tyson tries to knock Sanders out with hard headshots which are landing! Tyson hits Sanders on the head with bad intention punches. Sanders is lighly wobbling.
Round 4:
Tyson comes in for the kill with hard shots. Looks like Mike wants to put Sanders down again.
Fast flurry to the body by Tyson.
Sanders trying to jab but ends up mostly holding.
Tyson isn't going easy on Sanders.

Bell ends the fight. There is no decision, but Tyson is the clear winner.
Mike looked very good. Sanders couldn't do much. For a four-round charity fundraising exhibition this sure was a fun fight.

Tyson thanks the crowd. After being asked what's next Mike says he'll go to Washington DC to campaign with Michael Steele.

Tyson Press Conference Quotes
Mike Tyson: "I'm happy to be here, starting my world tour in Youngstown. It's been a little nerve-racking, but I'm ready to get it started. I'm a little nervous. The people here have been great. I lived approximately 18 miles from here. I'm sure this will be entertaining. I expect to have some fun. Bigger things (on the world tour) are down the road, places like Australia, China and possibly Dubai. I'm doing these exhibitions for charity. I'm retired; no way I'm fighting again. I began training to get in shape and it just snowballed. I wanted to do something for charity and here we are."

All black trunks with the solid black shoes.
The look was the same, except for the white Michael Steele U.S. Senate tee
shirt.
Be ready for the same look this Friday night when Mike Tyson squares off in
a four round exhibition match against Corey "T-Rex" Sanders at the Chevrolet
Centre in Youngstown, Ohio.
"This is what I'm wearing for the fight" Tyson said after his media workout
at the Downtown Boxing Club in Youngstown today.
Jeff Fenech, Tyson's trainer, put Mike through six makeshift rounds that
consisted of hitting the punching mitts and a punch shield.
Tyson looked like he was having fun in the ring, but he was not in a
talkative mood afterward.
The only talking was done by Corey Sanders, who graciously said: "You all
are going to see Friday night. Enjoy the show!"
When summoned to answer questions from the media, Tyson sent over a member
from his crew and politely gestured, "He's going to do my talking for me."
After roughly ten minutes, Tyson reluctantly agreed to approach where the
media was standing, but still offered no answers to any of the questions
that were posed. When asked how he felt, Tyson simply showed a smile and
gave a thumbs up sign. He continued to point to his shirt, showing his
support for Michael Steele.
This was a far cry from the Mike Tyson who was introduced at the kickoff
press conference in September to announce "Mike Tyson's World Tour" event.
There, Tyson gladly answered any questions that were thrown his way.
Today's version didn't seem to be in a bad mood, this writer just thinks
that he wasn't in a talkative mood.
Tyson appeared to be in a good mood as he arrived to the gym. After walking
in, he slowly looked at all the fight posters on the wall. During the
workout, Fenech continuously let Mike know that he was doing a great job and
after a series of hard shots to the body punch shield that he was holding,
he looked over to the 30-40 members of the media and gave a smile as if to
say "the power is still there."
Update: added 15 more pictures to total of 19

"The Mike Tyson World Tour" made a stop at J-Bella's
restaurant in Strongsville, Ohio on Monday afternoon. The event
acted as a luncheon and press conference to promote Mike Tyson's
exhibition fight against Corey "T-Rex" Sanders on October
20 in Youngstown, Ohio at the Chevrolet Centre.
Attending the press conference was Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs), his
trainer Jeff Fenech, promoter Sterling McPherson, junior middleweight
Juan McPherson (3-0, 2 KOs) and his trainer Al Jones.
"We are very excited that the 'Mike Tyson's World Tour' is
just around the corner," stated the promoter. "Mike and
I picked Youngstown because we knew it was a great fight town and
Mike is looking to put on a great show for everyone," said
McPherson.
Tyson echoed the same comments: "I'm just looking to have
fun. If people are expecting some sort of annihilation then they're
coming to the wrong show."
Asked if he still considered himself the 'Baddest Man on The Planet,'
Tyson replied: "I'm just Mike. I'm just trying to be a good
person. I have a lot of pain in me right now from boxing. There
is a lot of scum in boxing and I'm sick of it. The people up here,"
commented Tyson while pointing to Fenech, (Juan) McPherson and (Sterling)
McPherson, "are good people and we are looking to put on a
great show."
One funny moment came when Tyson joked about the wide range of opponents
he would like to compete with on the tour. "I would fight women,
children, celebrities, you name it." (a quote which many people from the press would later take out of context). Then the former champion
added with a smile: "I'm just looking to have fun. The money
that comes in from these fights will go to charities. I'm a big
fan of children's hospitals."
