EVANDER HOLYFIELD is getting ready to go to war with Mike Tyson for a third time – by holding sparring sessions with former world champions Wladimir Klitschko and Antonio Tarver to get into top, top shape.
The 57-year-old, who once had part of an ear bitten off by Iron Mike in one controversial clash, is looking in peak condition as he targets their multi-million dollar showdown.

Holyfield posted an image on Instagram of him with Ukrainian legend Klitschko and American Tarver.
It was accompanied by the message: “You are only as strong as the team around you.”
The Real Deal is determined to get the better of his nemesis again.
Tyson, 53, announced he was preparing a return to the ring last month.
The pair – with a combined age of 110 – are locked in talks over the clash.
The Middle East is one of the venues talked about for Holyfield-Tyson III.
Heavyweight legends Tyson and Holyfield last fought in 1997.
Holyfield also plans mega fights with Lennox Lewis and Riddock Bowe.
He beat Tyson twice in the 1990s.
Holyfield, the only undisputed two-weight champion and four-time heavyweight king, is keen for any one of the trio to take him on in a three-round fight.
Many fans thought Holyfield looked slow in training but after a fortnight with Klitchsko, 44, and Tarver, 51, he should be in much better shape.
The Real Deal released footage of him carrying out gruelling beach sessions showing for a man three years off getting a free bus pass he is still not to be messed with.
Tyson has dropped TEN stone and is looking in fantastic condition.
