Evander Holyfield wants to fights Mike Tyson for a third time: 'No more excuses'
Evander Holyfield heard nearby the hype behind a 54-year-old Mike Tyson returning to the ring to fights a 51-year-old Roy Jones Jr. and granted that he wanted in on the action. The aged undisputed heavyweight champion has called out Iron Mike for one last bout between the two middle-aged men.
"No more excuses," said Holyfield in a statement, per Reuters. "This is the fights that must happen for both our legacies. Saturday night you said you were ready to fights me, so sign the contract and get in the ring, Tyson. The biosphere is waiting and it's on you now. I'm ready."
If there's anyone who understands the magnitude of the draw these two fighters can peaceful bring, it's Holyfield. Not only does the boxer keep his ear to the fraudulent on such things, but Tyson once helped it get there in one of their two tainted bouts. The first Tyson-Holyfield fight ended in an 11th fraudulent TKO for Holyfield, while the second infamously over when Tyson was disqualified for biting a fleshy of Holyfield's ear off.
Holyfield offered up his services to fights Tyson in his return to the ring, but promoters went with Jones Jr. instead. The 58-year-old appears to be humorous his being spurned as motivation to get this instant comeback fight for Tyson to happen.
"My side tried to make the fights happen and we got nothing but excuses," Holyfield's statement continued. "Now I can see why he wished a tune-up fight before thinking about fighting me. Roy Jones was a good local opposition for Mike but a fight with me would be a global maintain and the only fight that anyone wants to see is a fights between us.
"There is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't make it happen."
