Tyson vs Holyfield Charity Fight

[DeadCoin]

It seems to me that the news is true that they will meet again inside the boxing ring. Many people are eager to meet again inside the ring because in their day many people admire them in the field of boxing. I'm one of those people who admire them for their boxing skills, and I'm also one of those people who are eager to see them compete again in the boxing ring. And I admire them even more now that they also want to help people affected by the pandemic. So I was very excited about the two of them being against each other again.

I wouldn't bet my hat on it

Lennox and Tyson were also BFF in their early boxing days, and d'ya know how it ended? In 2002 Tyson attempted to attack Lennox at a press conference, then he took to biting again. This time it was Lewis' leg. The dude is a beast, and you never know when it is going to come unleashed and attack. If anything, Holyfield should insure his ears. As they say, best friend or not, someone's gotta pay

We are now in 2020 and through this year, 23 years later after that iconic ear-biting, I believed Tyson, at his age, won't definitely do again a disrespectful action on the ring.

First, the match does have a purpose, not a title bout, not a winner-take-all, not big money on stake, etc but a charity event. But even without a charity event, I also read elsewhere that Tyson said he will only return to the ring for a worth boxer opponent and that was Evander Holyfield. Both legend boxers will surely be serious on the ring but it doesn't mean they will push to their limits or will become heavily aggressive to win.

Anyhow, it's a good chance for new generations to witness one of the greatest fights in boxing history, although not as the hype and intense like before, still worth to watch.

I'd love to see the fight. Would even take a bite of my own ear piece to honor this special day.



2020 or not, Mike is known for being angry in the ring. Even if he doesn't bite there will be dirty plays involved.

That's what I hope for myself

First, the match does have a purpose, not a title bout, not a winner-take-all, not big money on stake, etc but a charity event. But even without a charity event

However, can the leopard change his spots?

This is kinda rhetorical question as the answer is the assumed no. So can Tyson change his biting habits? Tyson went to bite Lewis Lennox outside the boxing ring. What was he thinking and was it a coincidence? I think it was not and he lost his mind. It won't take much for Mike to lose his mind once more and go full berserk again

I also read elsewhere that Tyson said he will only return to the ring for a worth boxer opponent and that was Evander Holyfield

Cuz Lennox would wipe the canvas with him (as before), and Tyson wouldn't be able to bite him?

Haha this is epic =) Nice merchandise

To behonest Mike Tyson looks like in incredible shape at the moment compared to 5 years ago.

I would love to see them in a ring a again. As a charity match of course, nothing too serious.

~snipped~

As for me, I will stand to my statement. Mike Tyson is really known for having his "other side" ad easily loses his cool but it does mean he will always be like that especially at his age. He really wants to come back on the ring but I'm sure no dirty play this time.

Since we are all speculating things here, we can't really say what will happen.

We are now in 2020 and through this year, 23 years later after that iconic ear-biting, I believed Tyson, at his age, won't definitely do again a disrespectful action on the ring.

Actually, we can make a side bet for this just for fun if Tyson will make dirty plays.

Interested?

What odds do you offer if I bet on yes? 

On the serious note, nah man, I don't want to put my bet on that and hopefully it's not available in sportsbook too as it's not good to see dirty tactics in the fight, both fighters will have to play clean since the purpose is very humanitarian, they should give full clean entertainment.

3 rounds of clean fight, that would be awesome to watch and I'm willing to pay for the PPV just to support the cause of this event.

He might have taken some juice to look good for the camera and working out and since he is planning to come out and fight for charity there will be no drug testing. TRT juiced Mike Tyson  . Even though it is for charity they are fighting for real and not looking to have fun and it will have serious consequences if Mike Tyson wants to take revenge on Holyfield for the two looses in his career if this fight really takes place .

It will not be the greatest fight, the shadow of a once great fighters returning to dance once again for charity  .

2020 or not, Mike is known for being angry in the ring. Even if he doesn't bite there will be dirty plays involved.

Even if they fight for charity what is the point in having dirty tricks to win the fight. If Tyson is really looking to provide the amount for charity then he will have a clean fight.

I did not think about the juicing as Tyson looks really trimmed and looked great in his recent pictures. The revenge plot is also interesting, the hype will be bigger when they will sign the dotted lines.

That feeling of revenge would really be there yet we know the past between Tyson and Holyfield even though we do see it as a Charity match but this would be a hot damn fight.

It might not be that serious to take on but its good to look back once again into those great fighters on past decades.Also, ive seen Tyson videos on social media too much having that good shape etc.

I don't think that Tyson will go on that length and take HRT just to be able to look good in this charity fight. We can look at the young Mike and really see that this man is really a freak of nature. Yes he is small for a heavyweight, but his bone structure though, its on the gene.

Some interesting plot of revenge, but again, this bout is for a charity and wouldn't even last for ten minutes. And I'm sure there are more hugging after the fight if this turns out to be very successful in raising funds for the Covid-19 victims.

I think the match will not too serious as they want to help the charity, and maybe they will only play for fun to entertain people who watch their match while they will invite more people to donate their money. I guess that can collect some big cash as charities because they are the famous person in Boxing, and they have a reputation among the other.

It's still a fight, how would a non-serious fight look like?

The purpose is for charity, but they could hurt each other since this is boxing, you hit your opponent and you get hit.
We will see who will win in this event, but I think I'll bet on the underdog of the fight, don't know who is the dog here since there's no odds yet, but probably Holyfield  will be the dog as Tyson is very popular, though he was once a dirty fighter when they both met in the past.

[imstillthebest]

im not really a fan of boxing but i will support such fight because i heard this is a fight for cause  related to those who have been infected by covid  .  im not a fan of boxing but i heard both names already   .  tyson was a legend or older fighter than holyfield if im not mistaken  so i also assume that tyson age was older too which means holyfield has a high chance  of winning the game but i almost forgot that the fight is  only for a good cause only , hehe so yeah but boxers wont make it too seriuos

Yes, they're in their 50's now.

Evander is older than Tyson.

Evander's age is 57.

Mike's age is 53.

[deisik]

I'm sure it's not going to happen again both men have matured and in fact are best of friends and besides this is a charity event no big money involved for both men the proceed will go to charity, so things will definitely end well for both legends it's good to see that both legends are still on their top shape

But this is a charity game it is meant to be a friendly match, no belt is on the line here, the emotion is not that high compare on those matches, they have both matured and mellowed, they are friends for a long time now after they retired and it's not a long bout, they might even just staged it because it's for a cause

But Tyson is Tyson

While Holyfield is Holyfield. If he takes to his famous headbutts again, Tyson may take to his signature bites as well. I remember Tyson explained after that famous match why he had bitten off Holyfield's ear. The latter had been constantly hitting the former in the nose with his head during the second fight, and the judge did nothing when Tyson tried to appeal to him. The point is, it remains to be seen who is a dirtier fighter overall between them two

Just keep in mind that things may quickly spiral out of control and turn pretty ugly if this fight ever happens

I was still young when that fight happened, it was 1996 when these two fights so I was not able to see this fight but I just heard that Tyson bite Holyfield's ear and that was put into my mind until now, I didn't know that Holyfield was a dirty fighter too since he headbutt Tyson.

I think they already forgive each other, a lot of times has pass by and they are both retired, this fight should be no more biting and headbutting because if they will make this a controversial fight, fans may request for a rematch.

We will see in the coming fight, I got more excited now with the information you just shared.

You must be a boxing enthusiast or you have watch these two fought before?

[KnightElite]

When I was really in a big shocked when I saw the current training regime of Mike Tyson, he is achieving the body of a beast boxer like before. His moves is still intact so for sure that he is still has a deadly body blow and uppercut. If the charity fight will be continue between Tyson and Holyfield, I am sure that it is going to be a big fight.

And also the current heavyweight champion which is Fury is interested to fight Mike Tyson, for me it will be a going the fight of the decade if it will happen because they will fight even if they are came from different era.

[deisik]

I'm a little bit of both

But my favorite fight, by and large, is indeed Lennox vs Tyson. I watched it incredible number of times, and would probably watch it as much in the future. It was basically a game-over for Tyson's boxing career. Before this fight Tyson was still considered a top contender. After Lennox it became abundantly clear that Tyson's prime days in boxing were over

Ironically, Holyfield tried to pull off the same trick with Lennox but since Lewis' reach is one the biggest in the recorded boxing history, this tactic fell through. Lennox either clinched (his trademark for which he is not liked by many, and rightfully so) or utilized his mighty jab stopping Holyfield's head halfway

But they have been aging, we can say that those training sculpted their minds and body. As time goes, strength is getting weaker but it's interesting to see if they're still that good.

It's expected that it wouldn't be the same during their glory days but it will be a big fight if they go seriously.
