Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson last met in the ring in June 1997. In that encounter, Holyfield successfully gave Tyson his second defeat in two contests of “The Real Deal”, although the victory came when Tyson infamously fell on his ear to earn his living. Incompetence With Tyson returning to the competition in his legendary league, is it time for a third fight?
Holyfield thinks so.
“Tried to fight on my side and we got nothing but excuses,” Holyfield said in a press release Tuesday (transcript by ESPN). “Now I can see why he wanted a tuneup fight before he thought about fighting me. No more excuses. This is a battle that must be fought for both our heritage. On Saturday night you said you were ready to fight me, so sign the contract and come to the Tyson ring. The world is waiting and it’s up to you now. I’m ready. “
At Tyson’s end, “Iron” is ready to share the ring for the third time, but he has pointed out problems in contract negotiations.
“Maybe Evander needs to talk to me because whenever my business associates talk to his business associates, it doesn’t come out well,” Tyson said. “So, I don’t know. If you could see what we made tonight, if these people really cared about Evander’s welfare, they would have done this fight with Evander. Maybe we’ll do something else, but whoever he is with, whoever controls him is totally wrong. “
Both men seem interested, and are certain to make money. Does that happen, or will Tyson find a different enemy for his next performance match? If it was James “Buster” Douglas, now 60, they would run him back in the first quarter of 2021.
“I would welcome this opportunity,” Douglas told USA Today Sports. “Being a prize winner all those years and still feel so good today, you always feel like you’ve got one more fight. They always ask, ‘Why can’t you people match again?’ Until the rematch, it was never really released. It was frequently mentioned. That’s about it. ”
Douglas shut down Tyson in the early 1990’s, which is considered to be the biggest boom in the history of professional boxing, with only the heavyweight titles of the WBA, WBC, and IBF losing Hfield Leifield in his first title defense.
Maybe they will get a triple threat instead?
