MIKE TYSON and Evander Holyfield’s trilogy is ‘signed, sealed and delivered’, Zab Judah claimed.
Judah, a long-time friend of Tyson’s, also revealed the heavyweight legend is ‘training everyday’ for the second fight in his comeback trail.

He told the Metro: “The fight is made, the fight is done, Mike Tyson versus Evander Holyfield part three, amazing.
“Everything about that fight interests me, you just got to look at one and two and there’s no doubt why you wouldn’t want to watch number three, no doubt.
“The fight is signed, sealed and delivered and Mike is training everyday and Evander is training everyday and both men are coming in there to do their job, they are not playing brother, there will be no playing.
“Mike Tyson versus Evander Holyfield part three, it’s going down, it’s going to be real. It’s going to be a great fight for a third time.”
Tyson, 54, returned to the ring last November against Roy Jones Jr, 52, as the pair boxed to a draw over eight exhibition rounds.
The announcement in early 2020 that Tyson would fight again inspired Holyfield, 58, to begin training for his own return.
SunSport in January first revealed the iconic rivals were in talks for a trilogy bout in Dubai.
And 43-year-old former two-weight champion Judah, from New York like Tyson, confirmed fight is heading to the Middle East.

He said: “It’s going to be in Dubai, that’s what I’m hearing. That’s what the advertisement said.”
Tyson was dramatically beaten by Holyfield, an underdog at the time, in 1996.
But their rematch a year later will forever be remembered for Iron Mike’s disgraceful third round disqualification, as he sunk his teeth into Holyfield’s ear.
The pair later patched things up and even enjoyed a friendship, featuring in a Foot Locker advert together in 2013 where Tyson attempts to give Holyfield’s ear back.
