Evander Holyfield Issues Challenge to Mike Tyson

Former Heavyweight champ Mike Tyson is already receiving fight requests after doing his job against Roy Jones Jr. this past weekend in an exhibition fight at Staples Center. Tyson looked great back in the ring. Now the fighter challenging Iron Mike is someone who is pretty familiar with him.

Former arch nemesis Evander Holyfield.

Holyfield already destroyed him

Holyfield, why? You already beat him twice. Showed your the bigger more dominant fighter. So what is it gonna do for you or your legacy? Nothing. Fight someone who gave you more a challenge.

Holyfield is what CTE would look like in human form. Anyone seen his interviews lately?

Holyfield has that psychological edge over Mike, but I believe Mike can beat him if he believes in himself. No disrespect to holyfield he's an all time great! He's always been about heart and endurance he just doesn't have any quit in him.

this is what I don't get. If it is exhibition why is Holyfield talking about legacy. It is going to his head and this is why we should only have young fighters boxing. This is not about legacy, it is about who aged more in those years.

Dude needs this purse. He has 11 kids from 6 different women and it’s Christmastime. Lots of baby mamas… pic.twitter.com/d1RP1dyzUv

I only want this to happen if it's an actual fight. No "hard-sparring" or whatever that shit with RJJ was.

If Evander wants it, sign that contract. Let Mike eat. pic.twitter.com/OJDllf0bwG

Seeing Tyson back in the ring was super entertaining, and very nostalgic. Holyfield versus Tyson would be a huge draw, but Tyson may not want to go down that road again.

We’ll see if Holyfield’s strategy pays off. Hopefully it will.
