By Josh Womack and Antonio Castro at ringside
Mike Tyson's world tour kicked off Friday at the Chevrolet Centre in Youngstown, Ohio, with the former heavyweight champion sparring four rounds with Corey "T-Rex" Sanders. Sanders entered the ring wearing headgear, while Tyson did not use headgear. The fighters used 16-ounce gloves and wore t-shirts. Tyson dropped Sanders in the opening seconds and pressed the action throughout. Sanders seemed to have little interest in trading punches and virtually all the good connects were made by Tyson. Sanders' knees were buckled by a Tyson right in round three, and Tyson landed a big right hand in the fourth. No decision was rendered, because it was an exhibition bout.
Update: added 20 more pictures to a total of 32 pictures.

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.
Post interview:
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."
