Mike Tyson doesn't plan on holding back against Roy Jones Jr. in their upcoming exhibition match.
The former undisputed heavyweight champion told TMZ Sports he won't pass on the opportunity to knock out Jones if it presents itself during the fight.
"If the opportunity comes, I'm always looking for it," Tyson said as he left a training session Saturday. "This is search and destroy and I'm looking forward to recapturing my glory."
Tyson, 54, has been training for months in preparation for his comeback and recently revealed he's dropped 69 pounds.
The eight-round match between Tyson and Jones is scheduled for Sept. 12 in California and will be sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission.
