The ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’, Mike Tyson, is all charged up to step inside the squared circle again. He will take on his longtime foe, Evander Holyfield, in a massive trilogy fight on May 29.

The last time Tyson stepped inside the ring was against Roy Jones Jr. That fight accrued overwhelming response from one and all. Moreover, the 54-year-old showcased a snippet of his old self in this cracking exhibition.

That said, ‘Iron’ Mike is thrilled to come back and fight the ‘Real Deal’ in an eye-catchy bout.

Recently, Tyson spoke to Fight Hub TV on the Evander Holyfield fight and gave his prediction on the same.

“I just want everybody to know, the fight is on with me and Holyfield.”

“Holyfield’s a humble man, I know that he’s a man of God. But I’m god’s man. And listen, I’m gonna be successful May 29th.” said Tyson.

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.
