Boxer Mike Tyson, 54, is returning to the boxing ring for the first time in 15 years. The plant-based athlete will compete in an eight-round exhibition match against 51-year-old former boxing champion Roy Jones Jr. on September 12 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, CA. The event, which will also feature live musical performances, will air on pay-per-view and social media channel Triller.
在退役15年之后，现年54岁的拳王迈克·泰森（Mike Tyson）将首次重返拳击赛场。9月12日，在美国加州卡森市的尊严健康体育场（Dignity Health Sports Park）举行的8回合表演赛上，这位奉行植物性饮食的著名运动员将和现年51岁的前拳击冠军小罗伊·琼斯一较高下。这场精彩赛事还有现场音乐表演助兴，将以付费收看方式（pay-per-view）和通过社交媒体渠道Triller播出。
At age 20, Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history in 1986 and went on to have a lucrative, albeit controversial, boxing career until 2005 when he retired after losing to Irish boxer Kevin McBride. In 2010, Tyson—who had a habit of eating steak prior to fights—adopted a plant-based diet in an effort to alleviate health issues associated with drug use.
1986年，年仅20岁的泰森成为了历史上最年轻的重量级拳击冠军，从此继续过着虽备受争议但获利丰厚的拳击职业生涯；直到2005年，他败给了（一位名不见经传的）爱尔兰拳手凯文·麦克布莱德（Kevin McBride），随后便宣布正式退出拳坛。泰森曾习惯在比赛前吃牛排，可是到了2010年，他为缓解与吸毒有关的健康问题采纳了植物性饮食。
“Well my life is different today because I have stability in my life. I’m not on drugs. I’m not out on the streets or in clubs and everything I do now is structured around the development of my life and my family,” Tyson told Oprah in 2013. “I lost weight. I dropped over 100 pounds and I just felt like changing my life, doing something different, and I became a vegan.”
“如今我的生活跟以前大不相同了，因为我现在的生活很稳定。我戒了毒。我也不再混迹街头和出入夜总会，我现在所做的每件事都是围绕着我的人生和家庭发展来进行组织安排的，”泰森在2013年向（媒体大亨）奥普拉（Oprah）透露。“我减肥了。我减掉了100多磅，我就是觉得正在改变自己的人生、做些不同的事情；我也（顺理成章）成为了一名纯素食者。”
Last year, Tyson reaffirmed his commitment to veganism to GQ Sports. “I don’t eat anything that has a mother and father. If you were created through a mother and father, through any kind of intercourse, I won’t eat you,” Tyson said. “So that means I only eat vegetables and stuff.”
去年，泰森向GQ Sports（《绅士季刊》体育版）重申了他对纯素食主义的忠诚。“我不吃任何有母亲和父亲的东西（动物）。如果你是由父母结合产生的，我也不会吃你，”泰森说道。“所以这意味着，我只吃诸如蔬菜这类的食物。”
This week, Tyson launched Legends Only League, a new venture that helps older legendary athletes return to the sports at which they excelled.
泰森在本周创立了Legends Only League（“传奇人物专属联盟”），旨在帮助年龄较大的传奇运动员重新投入到他们曾经擅长的体育运动。
