Evander Holyfield stepped in on short notice to battle the 44-year-old MMA fighter, Victor Belfort, after Oscar De La Hoya withdrew due to COVID-19 infection in September 2021 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood in Miami, Florida. However, Holyfield failed to land any meaningful punches, got visibly affected by a seemingly harmless body shot, and tumbled through the ropes following a poorly timed left hook. Holyfield’s comeback to the ring at 58 years of age was widely criticized after the encounter. A new training clip of the Real Deal has now sparked off talks of another comeback.

Has Evander Holyfield been preparing to revive himself after ending his career in 2021? Fans have come alive after Holyfield posted a clip of himself with gloves on again. In fact, they have their own demands. What are the fans expecting now?

Is Evander Holyfield vs. Mike Tyson 3 a reality?

‘The Real Deal’ captioned the clip, “If you quit every time things don’t go your way, then you’ll be quitting all through your life.” With black gloves on, he threw crisp punches at the pads atop what looked like the terrace of a gym. What fans are speculating about is a trilogy match with Mike Tyson. Holyfield is open to a profitable exhibition rematch with Tyson as well, following the legend’s 2020 comeback against Roy Jones Jr., which was treated as a sparring session.

Despite both fighters being in their 50s, a light-hearted exhibition trilogy remains a possibility. Holyfield emphasized the importance of mutual understanding, stating that it’s not solely about him but about both fighters making money that they wouldn’t otherwise. He expressed the intent to showcase skills without engaging in a real fight. The key is finding a mutually agreeable activity that emphasizes skill display and financial gain. Are the fans up for it?

Fans speculate a comeback

Holyfield inside the ring is something fans just cannot get enough of.

One fan asked the boxer to step back into the ring. They wrote, “Everyone is waiting for a comeback.”

“I know Evander is the only 4 time heavyweight boxing champion but didn’t he actually win the title 5 times?” asked another.

One fan pitched for a Tyson vs. Holyfield fight. “Holy moly vs iron mike trilogy lets get it!” he said.

“Holyfield still looks good,” observed another fan admiring the physique of the 61-year-old.

“Holyfield vs Tyson after a long time ago it’s happening,” predicted another fan, hoping to turn it into reality.

With Holyfield back in training, do you think we will soon get to see the heavyweight wounding his opponents again? Moreover, will Tyson be willing to accept the challenge? What do you think?
