The Cowboys owner also told a story of his son Stephen’s teenage boxing experience.
Mike Tyson faces off with Jake Paul during a news conference ahead of their boxing match at Toyota Music Factory, Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2024, in Irving.“Those fights actually start at 3 o’clock this afternoon,” Jones said. “By the way, Netflix specifically didn’t want a curtain. So we don’t do a curtain.”A late-afternoon start for the fight card means the all-too-familiar sun glare would be seen coming through the stadium’s windows.
As anticipation built for the evening’s bouts, Jones decided to tell a story of his son Stephen’s experience as a teenage boxer. When Stephen was 16, Jerry said he was still trying hard to make his son something he was not. About four or five years before Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys, he had sponsored a “big-time” cruiserweight fighter. To try and toughen Stephen up, Jerry arranged a deal where his son would spar with the boxer.“This is a Mike Tyson kind of attitude guy,” Jones said. “Well, Stephen had his headgear on and ready to go. I said, ‘Boys, whatever you do, don’t you let that guy get loose on him and hurt him.’ I said, ‘But, it’ll be good.
