Snoop Dogg swapped rapping for commentating this weekend as he watched Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr fight out an entertaining draw on their returns to the ring.
The controversial showdown between two legendary former world champions now in their 50s had been met with understandable criticism.
Tyson’s fight with Jones Jr was entertaining and worth the hypeGETTYBut it played out in decent fashion and was by no means a disgrace to the sport both men love, with Tyson in particular looking strong.
Viewers will tell you that one of the most entertaining parts of the fight was Snoop Dogg’s commentary – and one particular phrase left viewers in stitches.
The rap icon hilariously claimed that the fight was like ‘two of my uncles fighting at a barbecue’.

Wiz Khalifa was exactly trying to hide his spliffFollowing the fight, Tyson said he believed he beat Jones Jr, but there was no anger in his voice when told it was ruled a draw.
In Los Angles, though, all that mattered was that people were entertained and money was being raised for a good cause.
“I’m good with [a draw],” he said after the result was announced.
