Mike Tyson talks about possibly facing Evander Holyfield
Speaking to TMZ, Mike Tyson teased a potential fight with Evander Holyfield. He said:
“I’m just chilling out. I did that (referring to his exhibition with Roy Jones Jr.). I wanted to do that, I did that, People, also in Saudi Arabia wanted me to do this stuff too. I don’t know. I could be persuaded. I can be persuaded. I have to talk to the people. When I see the money people for the end product, my mind works clearer.”
In their infamous match, Tyson was disqualified from the match and after the fight. Before the disqualification, Tyson was complaining about illegal headbutts from Holyfield that opened up a cut above his eye. He came out of his corner without his mouthpiece in the third round, before being forced to put it back in. The bite took an inch of cartilage off of Holyfield’s ear as he shrieked in pain in the middle of the ring. The gloves that Evander Holyfield wore in the infamous match against Mike Tyson recently went under the hammer.
