Evander Holyfield believes his decision to be on the front foot against Mike Tyson was a key reason behind his two victories over his heavyweight rival.
Holyfield first beat Tyson with an 11th round TKO in 1996 and won the rematch the following year after Iron Mike was disqualified in the third round for biting his opponent’s ear.
Tyson was the heavy favourite in the build-up to his first fight against Holyfield, who had lost twice to Riddick Bowe and once against Michael Moorer before the contest. (Metro)
