TYSON vs HOLYFIELD III
Former heavyweight champions Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield have uploaded videos of their workouts on their social media.
Both have surprised by their good physical condition and have expressed their intention to return to the ring in a fight with altruistic aims.
In an interview for TMZ, Mike revealed that he wants to face Holyfield because it would be a fight that would generate a lot of benefits.
“That would be wonderful for charity. Can you imagine him and me together in the ring? Hey, listen, there are a lot of people out there who need help and something like that could help a lot of people in need,” Tyson said.
The rivalry between Tyson and Holyfield was one of the most intense in the world of boxing and we may see this pair of warriors back in a ring again.
