No boxing organization will allow a bout for them, they have to prove first they are totally fit and competitive, I guess the hardest part in a boxer is how to let go of the things they been doing for many years and this is conditioning and boxing, when you reach 50 years old you are only good for exhibitions not on real boxing match.

You got this completely wrong. Both Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson are considered as legends of boxing. Even now, there are millions of fans out there, who would purchase PPV if a fight is scheduled between these two. They may not be completely fit now. But that doesn't matter for fans like me. And as far as I know, both of them are still training and from the recent photos I can say that they look very much fit.

These guys need to stay retired man. They’re two of the greatest heavyweights ever. A third fight proves nothing, it just doesn’t achieve anything. They should both continue to enjoy their retirement & pursue other interests. I do not want to see two old men fighting.
This is what I think as well, I have nothing but the greatest respect as fighters to Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield, they do not have anything to prove and if this is about the money then I do not really know how successful this is going to be because I'm pretty sure that even boxing fans do not really want to watch this fight after so many years out of their prime, if I was given the option of watching their fight and a fight between two rising prospects I'll watch the latter rather than the former.

In my opinion, the exhibition match really is should be between Mike Tyson and another fighter. He and Evander have already forgiven and made a fantastic friendship out of the rivalry that happened between them and I think money will be a destructive factor that might endanger the friendship of both fighters. Nobody needs to prove anything to the other, it has already been done during their rivalry days and big money should not force them to fight again. This is my opinion.

But let's just face reality an average boxer's age is very crucial to his career and setting up a privilege to fight again even though it is just an exhibition match I think they need to cherish it for one last time.

But these guys aren't really average and I know for sure they have been training really hard to get back into shape, at least for Tyson that has been clear throughout lockdown.

Exhibition match is the most important aspect. None of them are going to beat each other to a pulp. This is more for fun and money, nothing to do with their pride anymore as neither have anything to prove.

I don't think that it will be a wise move for both of them to try and consider to go back to boxing and chase the heavyweight title. Just imagine the champions of today, Fury, Wilder, Joshua. Damn, if both Tyson and Holyfield goes up against those guy?

They will be obliterated in probably less than 6 rounds. Heavyweight division has evolved since the time they retire so it makes no sense for them to really make a comeback. Exhibitions match will be good though with proper rules and regulations.

I totally agree! I have seen the news that they surely want to come back again to boxing but that is surely impossible, If anime could be applicable on real life just like the old dudes on Baki, or they would drink from the well of youth and become younger again, If that could be possible.

But let's just face reality an average boxer's age is very crucial to his career and setting up a privilege to fight again even though it is just an exhibition match I think they need to cherish it for one last time.

is it confirmed that mike tyson and evander holyfield will be having a comeback fight or it was just a speculation for now? i think it would be great to see this two fighters back again in ring but i think this will be dangerous for both fighters for their age.

Probably an speculation only as there is no definite date stated in the OP, and even if there is one, I would not expect that this fight would easily happen as there has been a lot of speculation before that didn't push through and we just slowly forgotten it.
The trilogy fight was mentioned by Holyfield after Mike comeback exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr which I read that it was now postponed to November 28 but Frank Warren I dont like the idea of the duo comeback and he said he dont care if they both spend 10 minths training.
10 months of training is fair enough to this oldies because they have a long conditioning time now,their stamina and power is far different when they are in their Younger years.
and besides there is no need to rush,the longer the fight scheduled the more people eager to watch and bet so it is advertising strategy as well.

If this is a match for a cause then there is no real thing going to happen in this match but if this is all about titles then high chances fight will be consider again one of the best boxing fight but an older boxer version which we do not see everyday a game like this.I do believe Mike is explosive but his only problem if Holyfield is his opponent is the hieght and reach. Well, considerations are, that Mike has still the power and strength and that Holyfield has not been active to physica and may have low stamina.

Hope that there will be match between them and it will push through. My bet is for Mike Tyson.

I agree, there's no need for Holyfield and Tyson to prove anything in the ring. They are already a legend, pushing themselves against the current breed of HW champions will be a suicide. Just make a comeback for a charity fight and that's it. At the end of the day, it's about helping others in this pandemic and the money they are going to raise will help a lot of people right now.

If that's the case, then maybe Holyfield vs Tyson should take place next year, and we don't even know what would happen to the fight of Tyson vs Jones Jr, what if Tyson got seriously injured, how would this anticipated fight happen?
We dont have any idea if the Tyson vs Holyfield trilogy fight you happen since some boxing promoter are not in support of it but Tyson vs Jones jr fight is an exihibition fight and the reason why the fight was postponed is because Tyson said he want the fight to be front of live crowd.


lol, so why would he agree to fight Jones in the first place?

They already know that the situation will not easily be solve, we might be continue to live with the virus for awhile, and I thought it was already agreed that the fight will be in PPV, what happen to that? Why now ask for a live audience? I hope this is not about the greed for money.
You make a good point and I was surprised about the postponement but I think the reason for the postpone could because of money which the reason why people like Fury and Anthony postponed their fight either.
About the virus situation, I read that the Russian government has approved a vaccine and I heard that Moderna vaccine are showind good results.

I guess their assumptions was wring and needed to cancel this upcoming fight since it's less than a month from now. Now that they already well prepared with each other, why they won't re-schedule the fight not for Jones but for Holyfield this time? they can prepare up to how many months they want or until everything will back to normal again. No one really cares, as long as they will fight again for real this time.

he just change his mind , thats it . anyone can change minds you know , some are even worst because they backed out before the match begins  but what he ask here is also not possible because there is still spcial distancing that is happening everywhere . health is more important than this event . i know its special but if they want they can always re schedul another match when pandemic is already over .

Want top-notch marketing for your project, Hire me


Can we actually see a trilogy between Holyfield and Tyson?
If it does happen who do think will win?

Possible for it to be pushed through if theres so much hype or demand with this fight but actually these both dudes (Tyson and Holyfield) are almost hitting age 60.
58 for Evander and 54 for mike. Do they really believe that their body can still continue just because their brains do tell them to do so? Im aint underestimating their capabilities
but they should accept that they arent young and they should rather focus into their health.If both will be considering an another exhibition match then that one might do
but continuing their boxing career? Nah, i would already have doubts on that.
I believe the fight will push through cause alot of boxing fan want two to settle tally cause Evander claimed he would have knock down Tyson if he didnt bite him which i agreed but Evander used head crash to won his first fight and planning to do the same in the second was what led to Tyson bite him
Concern the continuing their career, no one know the decision of the two fighter about that yet.
Those are just excuses.For biting his ear then i dont see for it to be a valid reason for him to able to knock down Tyson if that thing didnt happen.For evander on using up head crash then
it would rather definitely believe on this one.Actually those historic fights cant really be easily forgotten for those people who do followed specially on Mike Tyson's boxing career.
They do decide to settle on whats unfinished into this trilogy fight? I dont see for those grudges is still present.
The use of Evander head crash is not an excuse if you follow the fight very well because Tyson have to do surgery of the first head crash, so when the second crash happened again during their second fight Tyson was furious and decide to bite his ear twice just as Evander does to his face.
I will advice you to watch the fight video again so you can understand my point.
I believe those two fighter still hold grudges against each other.


These guys need to stay retired man. They’re two of the greatest heavyweights ever. A third fight proves nothing, it just doesn’t achieve anything. They should both continue to enjoy their retirement & pursue other interests. I do not want to see two old men fighting.
Yes they ought to stay retired but Wilder seems to be the reason behind all this cause after what he said to Mike Tyson before his last fight with Fury, Mike went back training went face to face with Chris Jericho and also proclaimed that he's nothing without boxing. But, concern the trilogy issue i believe Evander provoked it up.
