Holyfield first released his training video parallel to the Mike Tyson training footage, which arose the plausibility of the former being Tyson’s opponent in his return. And even though Holyfield was interested in that fight, it simply couldn’t come through. Roy Jones Jr. was ultimately finalized as Tyson’s opponent.

Can Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson collide for the third time?

Holyfield looks in tremendous physical shape, especially for someone his age. This level of dedication can be termed as inspirational in every sense. But regarding his opponents, there still isn’t any confirmation.

A few names that have come up are the former unified heavyweight champions Lennox Lewis and Riddick Bowe. Both of them have beaten Holyfield in the past.

Now, with his intention to take part in exhibition charity matches, we might see Holyfield in action soon after his counterpart Tyson. With so many boxing returns announced in such a short span, it just seems to be the season of comebacks.

Since Tyson has also said that he wants to continue fighting after his match with Roy Jones Jr., it wouldn’t be surprising to see Holyfield and “Iron Mike” go at it for a final time.
