EVANDER HOLYFIELD has revealed there is a “good chance” he and Mike Tyson WILL fight.
The veteran duo, both well into their 50s, look to be on a collision course for a third fight, 23 years after their initial rematch.

Back in 1997, Tyson was infamously disqualified for biting off a chunk of Holyfield’s ear.
Tyson and Holyfield fought the year before – with Holyfield winning via an 11th-round stoppage.
But now, the 57-year-old says the pair are close to making a decision on their eagerly-anticipated trilogy bout.
Speaking on DAZN’s Face To Face, Holyfield revealed: “What the people want is what the people get.
“There’s a good chance [it will happen]. Everything’s about the people.
“The people start it up because no one is just doing it for free. What the people want is what the people get.”
Whatever game he brings, I’ll bring the same thing.
Holyfield on Tyson
Iron Mike has looked in outrageously good shape after sharing a series of videos demonstrating he still has incredible power and lightning speed at the age of 53.
But Holyfield has insisted he will match Tyson every step of the way, saying he will be equal to whatever his old foe throws at him.
Earlier this week, he threatened to “throw bombs” at Tyson in the ring.
Holyfield – who recently deleted a “slow” training video ahead of his comeback – continued by saying he wants the fight settled cleanly, with nothing less than a KO acceptable.
He said: “I want something where there won’t be a decision. Whatever game he brings, I’ll bring the same thing.
“It won’t be a decision but we’ll both give our very best to who we are as people.”
Meanwhile, Tyson Fury – named after Mike – has revealed he has agreed an offer to take on Tyson in an exhibition fight.
The super showdown is believed to be just one of Iron Mike’s comeback fights.
Iron Mike is also reportedly set to be offered more than £16million to compete in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
