The rift between Tyson and Holyfield isn’t new at all for the fans. This rivalry ranked among the biggest rivalries in the retro boxing era.
Both of them fought each other twice, and the world witnessed what happened in both those fights. That said, a trilogy will only lure the fans. Also, this fight has every audacity to break Tyson’s last exhibition PPV records, which was 1.6 million.
Mike Tyson or Evander Holyfield, who comes out on top in the trilogy?
Ever since the Jones Jr. fight, ‘Iron’ Mike expressed his inquisitiveness to lace up the boxing gloves again. Earlier, he was in talks to face Holyfield instead of ‘Captain Hook’ in November 2020. But because of some uncertainties, the fight couldn’t go on floors.
Despite that, Holyfield and Tyson have both begun training for this fight. More than anyone else, they are themselves excited to battle each other out and put on an exhilarating show for the fans.
Tyson and Holyfield both will look to employ their finest prowess.
This fight promises to be an absolute blinder and has everything to stay true to the surrounding hype.
Who will you be rooting for in this battle?
