Will the ‘Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield 3’ Dream Finally Come True?

Evander Holyfield, following in former rival Mike Tyson’s footsteps, is ready to make a comeback into the ring.

It looks like the current heavyweight division is headed towards an unbelievably exciting phase. With two of the current greats, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder already waiting for their trilogy, Evander’s announcement has the hopes for yet another awesome trilogy riding as high as the moon.

On his Twitter handle, Holyfield shared a video regarding his comeback.

Even though he clarified that he will be fighting in exhibition matches, it is hard not to think of the possibilities that his comeback might unfold. Even at 57 years of age, the “Warrior” is looking in unbelievably great shape.

Of course, his video followed that of Mike Tyson’s, where Mike put his skills on display. And needless to say, the 53-year-old looked just as dangerous as ever.

Mike clearly hasn’t lost the devastating combo of his unmatchable velocity and power. Moreover, he too is looking towards entering the ring again. With both these rivals planning their comebacks, could we witness the showdown that never happened?

What makes the possibility Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield 3 so enticing?

Entertaining the possibility of that matchup, given that both the legends will dawn gloves again, is something irresistible.

In fact, it was in his comeback fight back in 1996 that Holyfield stripped Tyson of his WBA title.

However, the affair between the two went on towards a rematch, which turned out to be one of the most controversial events in boxing history.

A frustrated “Iron” Mike bit Holyfield’s ear, bringing the match to a temporary halt. The referee deducted two points from Tyson’s scorecard, and the match resumed.

However, Tyson’s frustration did not end there. He repeated the bizarre act and bit Holyfield’s other ear, after which the referee brought the match to a halt. Tyson would later claim that the reason for all the biting was the continuous head butts that the referee did not seem to notice.

For the first time in 50 years, a heavyweight title fight ended in a disqualification, and Holyfield emerged the winner.

Of course, one would have preferred much more to watch the fight end in the old-fashioned way. Anything but disqualification. However, the fact that both the boxers are heading towards fighting again might just neutralize one of the greatest disappoints in boxing history.

Do you think we will see a trilogy fight between Iron Mike and Holyfield? Who do you think will win?
