Mike Tyson is delighted with the idea of a third duel with Evander Holyfield, this time in the form of an exhibition charity fight. Twenty-three years ago, after the second battle, when Mike bit ear of Evander, the relationship between them left much to be desired. But the gentlemen have known each other for a long time, have already reconciled and have repeatedly appeared together in a number of events.
When Iron Mike announced his return for a short fight with a maximum of four rounds and published the first videos of his training, Holyfield did not stay in debt and offered to hold an exhibition fight. And Mike obviously accepts the invitation.
“Many people need help, and such a meeting can help them. Together, we could make a lot of money for charity, because this is what I want to do now. I don’t know if we will come out together again in the same ring, but that would be great. Imagine that the old opponents again enter the ring and do it for the audience, whose life is not so good, and who are less fortunate than us. Nothing like this has ever happened in the history of sports,” said Tyson, 53.
Holyfield will turn 58 in October.
