Thriller co-founder: 'Tyson could have made good money, but he was scared of Holyfield'

Triller's closest show is the Sept. 11 event in Hollywood, Florida, where 59-year-old Evander Holyfield (44-10-2, 29 KOs), the only four-time world heavyweight champion in history and former outright heavyweight champion, will face Vitor Belfort (1-0, 1 KO), an MMA star from many years ago. It's worth noting that the Brazilian has relied primarily on stand-up work and boxing in his performances.

But Kavanaugh knows how to count his money and knows that he will make the most money on a Holyfield vs. Tyson fight. And since he hasn't been able to convince "Iron Mike" financially, he's now decided to approach it from the boxer's side of the ambition.

"I offered a huge fee for this fight, but I've heard from many credible sources that Tyson is just afraid of Holyfield. He thinks he might lose by knockout again. It will be one of the biggest fees of his life," Kavanaugh said, adding that, according to his sources, the 55-year-old Tyson is currently negotiating a fight with another boxing legend, Lennox Lewis.
