Evander Holyfield insists he is ready to come out of retirement and fight fellow heavyweight legend Mike Tyson for a third time.
Iron Mike teased his possible return last month after he posted a clip on Instagram which hinted he still boasts some of the ferocious punching power and lightning fast hand speed which made him one of the most feared boxers in the history of the sport.
Tyson, now 53, subsequently revealed he intends to fight four round exhibition bouts in a bid to raise money for charity and has been linked with a string of opponents including the likes of Shannon Briggs and All Blacks star Sonny Bill Williams.
Holyfield, four years Tyson’s senior, is also planning on hitting the comeback trail and would not be opposed to getting in the ring with his old adversary who infamously bit off a chunk of his ear during their second meeting in 1997. (Text and photo courtesy Metro)
