Holyfield holds the upper-hand if the pair are to engage in the final edition of their trilogy. He has bested Iron Mike on two occasions. One of which is infamous for Tyson attempting to bite a chunk out of Holyfield’s ear.

“His people have been talking to my people and we haven’t yet got a solid deal together. But it’s coming that way. If it happens, then that’s no problem. Well, the thing is, he was doing something and I was doing something. When I told people about it, they saw me working out and they kind of put two and two together,” Holyfield told The 3 Point Conversation.

Holyfield insists that both him and Tyson making a comeback at the same time is nothing more than happenstance. He claims the two did not plan to fight each other. However, if a situation like that should arise, he is not one to back down.

Why Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson want to make a comeback

As far as Holyfield is concerned, he just wants to set an example for the younger generation. He wanted to show the effect that good life choices can have on one’s body to up and coming boxers.

“I wanted to come back and be able to show the kids that if you take care of your body at a young age if you don’t get bad habits, you don’t gotta put them down. Then at an old age, you ain’t got to be worried about what type of person you’re going to be or if somebody going to have to help you,” said Holyfield.
