In a chat on ‘TMZ Live’, he said, “That would be awesome for charity. Can you imagine me and him going in the ring together?”
He also spoke about what his comeback stage is in right now as he is open to all comers.
“I’m just having fun, looking good, showing off my new bod and stuff. Anything’s possible, my ego’s starting to get elated and stuff. But we’ll see.”
The former 2-time Heavyweight Champion reiterates that his comeback is purely for charity. However, based on the murmurs and waves, the potential fight is causing ‘Iron’ to know a fight with ‘The Real Deal’ could be a massive draw.
He said, “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.”
‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ is known by casual fans or in fact many non-sports watchers primarily for his infamous “ear bite.” The incident took place on June 28, 1997 in the pair’s second meeting. Here ‘Iron’ bit ‘The Real Deal’s ears on two occasions. While the first resulted in a temporary stoppage the second saw Tyson disqualified.
He claimed the ear bites were due to Holyfield getting away with repeated headbutts. As a result, ‘The Real Deal’ retained his belt and went 2-0 against Tyson.
While the duo has made up over the infamous incident. They haven’t faced each other since and given their advanced years, fans would absolutely love to see the sequel of the sequel albeit in an exhibition.
