Mike Tyson Says a Charity Boxing Match vs. Evander Holyfield 'Would Be Awesome'

Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson confirmed Thursday he's open to a boxing match against 1990s rival Evander Holyfield to support COVID-19 relief efforts.

"That would be awesome for charity," Tyson said on TMZ Live. "Can you imagine me and him going in the ring together?"

He added: "Hey, listen, there are a lot of people out there that need help, and something like that could help a lot of people, that's in need for help."

Lately there's a lot of reports surfacing that Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield will fight on the right for a charity cause, to support the Covid-19 relief efforts.

In case this is realised, are you guys going to support and donate to the cause if ever this is open to the public?

Personally, I will because those two are my favourites and it bring nostalgia to me. It was my first time to travel to the US that time '97 and watch the second fight on TV in my hotel.

And it's going to be a 3 round fight according to this article.

And damn, look at those videos, it seems that they are training for this fight? No?

Of course, if this is for a worthy cause specially the money that are going to be raise is to help the COVID-19 relief then why not?

It will be interesting to watch but I feel pity for these old geezers to fight just for charity fight when this can be done by the youngest popular fighter out there. they don't need to prove anything at this point, they already have their time and they already proved they deserved the title The Legend. If the promotion really wanted to help those who are severely infected by the pandemic, they could do the right thing and I don't think this kinda fight is the right one. like I said, the youngest popular fighter in our time can take the quest for charity if they want to.

I honestly do not want to see this happen in public for charity amd entertainment. They're old but both guys are probably still competitive and heavy hitters. One punch to the head or body could instantly end the fight. They better be wearing some protective gears.

I don't think that they really go out and try to beat each other, as the article says, there's no bloodbath between the two and if ever this happened if will be a nine minute round for a charity. Of course this fight will not prove anything as they have cemented their legacy. They will do this to for free just to help those who are affected by the pandemic. Young fighters are all in for the money though, no disrespect to them.

Lately there's a lot of reports surfacing that Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield will fight on the right for a charity cause, to support the Covid-19 relief efforts.

They shouldn't be holding this match, there are lots of ways they can do for covid-19 charity, if they want to raise funds.

I'm not sure the funds raised were donated 100% to covid-19 victims, there was a game behind all of that 'greed' from the producers, teams, organizers who organized this boxing match, Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield, they are rich people who are currently in a boxing tournament.
They can take a little from their property, if they want to make a donation to the victims of the C-virus.

In case this is realised, are you guys going to support and donate to the cause if ever this is open to the public?

Not.....!
There are many ways in can do, besides betting / boxing in general, if only for that...donations...

I agree with the fight but both should wear protective gear, they are not young anymore and could hurt each other because of their age, it should just be a friendly fight, just like they do in professional wrestling but it should not be staged.

They should just showcase that even if you are at that age you are still physically fit to box and even if you have the age you still have that speed, and since this is a charity event it can bring a lot of donation and money for the charity they supported.

Not a problem with me. The boys are boxers, and boxers gonna box. There is no belt, title, reputation, or even a huge money involved between the two. They are not facing each other as real adversaries. Everything's purely for fun at the same time to make some nice charity funds as well. They're not there to badly hurt each other.

But the rules must clearly spell out: NO BITING!

[noorman0]

It's very rare for legends to fight back after retiring. But if they return not to beat each other, is there a chance in this match to gamble. Then, is it ethical if some people bet on each other for these legendary matches while they are aiming for charity?

I know that some people lost big bets after the last fight of these two boxers decades ago.

[maydna]

If there is a way for me to donate, I will give some money for a charity. But I wonder if the donation needs someone to have a US bank or something like that. If yes, then not all people cannot donate their money. I think the event organizer should open an account from many payment processors so people from other countries can also give their supports to the show.

But I am worried about the match, not just about both Tyson and Holyfield are getting old, but I am afraid if they get hurt and bleed, that can make them get trouble with their health. Perhaps, Tyson and Holyfield can use the other way to attract people to donate to support Covid-19.

Hah, yeah, first rule should be no biting, LOL. Yes, they are going to 'box' just for fun and to be able to raise money and I think is cool. I'm not seeing anyone of them trying to hurt each other, it will be just for entertain and giving boxing fans something to cheer during this pandemic. And probably those videos are there to tease us, but when they go and fight inside the ring, it will be very different. Probably a head gear to protect themselves from the blow will be enough for this 50 year old legends.

The idea is great to do a charity match and the proceeds goes to some foundation which will help the needy people . Yes they should wear the protective gear and then fight and also I assume it would not be that intense bucause both knows that it is at the end of the day playing for charity .

[kotajikikox]

Sorry for Being Corny here but i think they are Old enough to go up the ring,no doubts that they once a great boxer and also still having exercise and small training but their Age and health is in risk here.
Not unless they will have a agreement(secretly) that the fight will be at least like WWF in which having script so the punches will not have that big impact in one another i don't wanna see negative outcome after the Bought as i really admire and respect this 2 boxers all my life.
and another thing make sure there will be no "Biting of Ears" this time lol.

[fortunecrypto]

I support this fight as long as they wear a protective gear and they come out a health certificate that they are both fit to fight, since this is a charity fight it should be like a sparring session between two friends who will just showcase their speed and timing but not their punching power, to the point that they are hurting each other, I believe they still have it.

[DarkDays]

Although they both look to be in excellent condition for their age, it's quite clear that Tyson is in by far the better shape of the two.

He's still a shadow of his former self, but he's still got the speed and power needed to post a threat to even some current ranked heavyweights.

Because of this, I'm pretty sure that he would maul Holyfield in the rematch. Holyfield is just looking big and slow right now. Sure, I bet he can still throw some nasty hands, but Mike Tyson has far more speed.

For the most part, speed usually beats power—and Tyson has both.

Let's just hope Tyson doesn't feel like finished Holyfield's ear this time.

They will Fight inside the ring but for sure not the way they fought when they were young or even the punches they will throw i am sure Moderated or with full control.

and also they have learn from the past after their Controversial fight.

I am thinking that this is not totally a boxing bought but just a show of concern for the Covid victims to gather funds from their old time supporters .

Anyway, they are just doing this for charity so I don't think they will put so much seriousness in this fight to the point that they will truly destroy each other. For sure, they will have some sort of agreement regarding their limitations as they are already old on this sport and their health is very vital for them at this age. But if it will push thru, it will be interesting to watch. But of course via PPV or livestream as crowded events are not safe in these times.

[Sanitough]

This fight has a good cause, we have to support it.

It's for charity and I think this fight will be a success as although these two are already oldies but they are great fighters during their prime.
Let's see what these two can still bring, we need more boxing fight and this one is gonna be a good fight, hopefully there's a betting odds for this fight too.

[coin-investor]

This is an exhibition match for charity so I am going to support in case it happens, there are already reports that Tyson will face Shannon Briggs the famous "Let's go champ" guy, they are best of friends so there will be hurting that's going to happen, and besides they are going to wear protective gear and promoters will see to it that nothing bad happens to these two fighters.

[buwaytress]

Out of curiosity I looked up Tyson online and damn he looks old. Think last I saw him was in one of those Hangover movies, though my memory now reminds me even that's some years back. Videos suggest he's been keeping extra fit Schwarzenegger style, though, so I suppose there are a few vanity matches left in him.

Make no mistake, this will be a charity match with both opponents taking it easy. I'd bet on a draw or win on points for the more popular one aka Tyson.
