Evander Holyfield trilogy fight with Mike Tyson.

[kawetsriyanto]

Anyway, how old are they? Do they fight as professional boxing or it is just for entertaining? Honestly, reading the news in OP, I am not sure if they will fight as they ever did a long time ago. They are already getting old and seems not an ideal age to fight as professional boxing. They will fight for a charity program, right?

How many charity fights they will conduct, Tyson is already scheduled to fight against Roy Jones and if they keep on fighting for charities they should start doing it professionally rather than calling it charity bouts as either way they are planning to make money and why calling it charity. Both these fighters are well passed their 50s and they are trying to put up a clown show at this age  .

I'll provide the link here: (https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/709124/evander-holyfield-training-with-wladimir-klitschko-in-preparation-for-potential-mike-tyson-comeback-fight-as-57-year-old-shows-off-incredible-shape/)

This news is old though, since May, during the height of the talks between him and Tyson, which eventually fall out and Tyson proceed to fight Roy Jones Jr and which the schedule fight have been extended to September which doesn't sit well with Jones Jr. And that's why this whole drama of Tyson vs Holyfield was again hype by boxing media.

No, this is just all about the money, if they have enough, they don't need to risk their health on this fight as it's possible they will be seriously injured.
Boxing nowadays are losing it's reputation, some boxer fight a UFC fighter, and now old boxers going back making their own role of fight and they just hype people on their fight, why can't they just retire and let the young ones fight?

Honestly, I already loss my excitement, I admit I am a bit excited in the first announcement month ago about this particular fight, but we know it did not push through and it was announce again this time, who would believe on them? they'll keep postponing this fight until they reach their cap of sales maybe.

I am sure they have enough money, even more. I think it's about their reputation in boxing, so they fight with the other fighters. If boxing losing its reputations, all fighters, as a legend in the boxing industry, will try to show to the public that the boxing is not ended or losing the fan. They want to tell the public that they, as old fighters, still have their power, and they can fight with the young fighters. We will see how their performance in the ring, and I am sure that they will give their best performance to us.

It's probably a comeback from Mike Tyson. I didn't know him that much but I already his name way back years ago, so he's probably old now. Even if it is not a professional boxing, both of these men will make tons of cash together. I watched some of their videos just right now, and I see they they can still fight. Just an info, Holyfield is 57, and Tyson is 54.

With their age, the organizers should consider this, this is not going to be a fight their fands and boxing experts will not let it, it's going to be an exhibition just like what is also stipulated in the Tyson - Jones fight, purely for entertainment and just to show boxing fans their condition in their age, so to set up an example to mature people that they can still be in top shape despite their age.

[peter0425]

Not actually a big issue for me. Both boxers are equal in age and possibly, strength. Let them do what they want. It's witnessing again a great and classic match that new Millenials never saw before but of course not as deadly as in the past.

The most stupid decision for a comeback is on Oscar Dela Hoya. He is considering challenging a prime boxer.

So much big difference on the comeback of Tyson, Holyfield and Jones Jr.

as ive read the comeback of dela hoya, i dont understand why such decision? we all know that he's not prepared for the fight. is it all because for the money?

When He fight Many Pacquiao we knew it is for money also so what change Him from taking Money from Boxing?he has already loss His prime and name so what will be the losses he might take now for this return.

anyway, holyfield and tyson is a great match to watch. even if they are already passed their prime. it is heartwarming to see this fight  come to reality one more time. we may not be seeing the same performance but good to see for the new generation of boxing fans

This is one of the much awaited fight because they have Unfinished Business in the past so i am sure there are many People longing to see them again up in the ring fighting with each other and this time in fair fight.

I'm sure the trilogy fight between Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson will soon be realized. Just watch this match come to makes
a lot of money, even though these two boxers are over 50 years old, since both of them have a huge fan base around the world
there must be big hype.I'm sure this match will be entertaining, I'm increasingly looking forward to the Holyfield and Tyson match.

Reality wise, it's more on collecting money as this exhibition fights will gathered back those old folks who idolized how this two champ used to fight way back. They are both legends Holyfield used to be the neutralizer of iron Mike.
He knows how to make Mike very frustrated, if this fight will be push thru after Jones it will really interest more fans and gamblers.

As usual on where they do hype up something just to spark up interest and if they do saw that public is hooked up then they might really be helding such fight because they do already able to picture out the possible profits that they could make if this one able to push through but for now Tyson do need to settle it down first with Jones Jr. and if Tyson will win this fight then Evander would really be next in line.

Overall, this is just a better entertainment and a pure exhibition which is something interesting to watch rather than with that Golden Boy's comeback in spite of his age.

The fight with Jones Jr. seems to be a bit cloudy, the fight was postponed and it seems Jones Jr. is not happy about that and wants to be compensated on the time he invested in preparation to the fight, I have no update regarding the fight now but this fight (Holyfield vs Tyson) should not come up if the Tyson vs Jones Jr. is likely to be realized.

Overall, this is just a better entertainment and a pure exhibition which is something interesting to watch rather than with that Golden Boy's comeback in spite of his age.

De La Hoya is willing to come back, we can't stop him, besides he will be the one who will promote his own fight, so it's his expense if people would not buy it.

~Just an info, Holyfield is 57, and Tyson is 54.

Thank you for the info.
Yeah, these ages aren't ideal ages for professional boxing.
Even they still can fight as you said before, I am pretty sure that the fight won't be the same as common professional boxing.

~ it's going to be an exhibition just like what is also stipulated in the Tyson - Jones fight, purely for entertainment and just to show boxing fans their condition in their age, ~

Agree. It seems like a match purely for entertainment.
If you have ever watched a football match involving legends in old ages, it seems not much different from the upcoming match "Holyfield and Tyson".

oh theres also simillar to this ? but only on football . other sports are also possible for the sake of the fans and also to gather money that will be used for a good cause . legends or well known players are also called professional because of thier number of wins  .

their match can be called as a pro match as long as pro's are both fighting

[South Park]

I noticed some good old boxers are now not only contemplating but are already seemed to commit on returning to the ring. First there was Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. and then there was the Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya, and now even Evander Holyfield. What's wrong with you legends?

Is this some kind of a COVID-19 effect to their lives? Are they that bored already that they want to put on the gloves they once hung up for good once more?

I don't think this is the kind of trilogy boxing fans want to watch. These are really old people, almost senior citizens.

You need to understand that in order to become a legend like they are you need to have an unbreakable spirit, those legendary boxers never wanted to retire and the only reason why they did it is because their bodies gave up before their fighting spirit did, so I think it is natural that many want to come back even when they are very old, however I really think that they should not get the permission to do so because even if the fights are exhibitions boxing is a sport that is too violent and we do not want a tragedy happening with the whole world watching it.

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.

unfortunately there is no other choice to be able to trigger other fighters and maybe they are also in need of money so they try to do a fight again, maybe this fight could be the last fight for them before retiring.

They have already retired and this fight wont really be a counted one.They can settle via trilogy fight but this doesnt achieve anything same as mentioned above where these guys
should be focused on other things and minding their own health.

But well, we cant really stop them if they do love to box.For whatever reasons they do had neither for money or for charitable works then its none of our business.

Boxing association will really poke up these kind of fights if they do saw that they can make or generate income with it.

[ronaldo40]

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.

[suzanne5223]

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.
