BOXING legend Evander Holyfield has teased a trilogy fight against Mike Tyson in 2021 when he dusts off the gloves at the age of 58.
The American – who is the only person in history to have been the undisputed world champion in two weight classes – is planning on making a return to the ring.
Evander Holyfield has been training ahead of a comeback to the ring age 58
Mike Tyson has been eyed up by Holyfield as he looks to beat him for a third time
Holyfield is in great shape as he trains ahead of his comeback as he eyes up a third bout against the Baddest Man on the Planet.
He already beat Iron Mike in 1996 and 1997, where Tyson famously bit his rivals ear in the third round of their rematch.
But Holyfield clearly feels there is some unfinished business between him and his compatriot as he teased a future fight on Instagram.
He posted a picture of him punching Tyson, along with the caption: “Who would like to see Holyfield vs Tyson 3?
“Or who else would you like to see me get in the ring with in an exhibition?”
And his 412,000 followers were quick to respond, as one commented: “Everyone wants to see that! Literally everyone.”
Another messaged: “That would be epic!!! Tell me this is happening.”
A third added: “Yes please to shut all of Tyson fans up. They still making excuses for him.”
Some then named other potential opponents, as one said: “Lennox Lewis please.”
One then quipped: “Anthony Joshua. Take his belt.”
Holyfield has been inspired by Tyson’s upcoming exhibition contest against Roy Jones Jr later this month to return to boxing.
And with Tyson planning to fight three more times in 2021, Holyfield will surely be targeted by the 54-year-old.
