Boxing fans may have to take a step back to the future with the news Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson may do battle again despite both former undisputed world heavyweight champions being in their 40?s.

The ?Real Deal? defeated ?Iron Mike? on two occasions in 1996 and 1997. The second fight will live long in the memory of all fight fans, for all the wrong reasons, thanks to Tyson?s moment of madness when he bit a chunk out of the ear of Holyfield.

However, 45-year-old Holyfield revealed that he is considering an offer from Tyson?s camp to step back into the ring with him for a third time.

"There has been some talk between us," Holyfield told The Guardian.

"Mike had Jeff Fenech, who's been training him, call me a few months ago. Jeff says Mike wants to fight me again - but he needs to know if I would agree to it.

"I said, 'It all depends on what they are going to give us - because I'm gonna catch a lot of flak if I say I'm fighting Mike Tyson again. I've already said I don't want to fight Mike no more'.

"Jeff says, 'What if Mike gets in proper shape?' I told him that's OK but I can't be part of it if Mike's going to pull out. Jeff said, 'The main thing Mike wants to know is if you would be willing to fight him again?' I said, 'Yeah, if the price is right, I probably would'."

Please we don't need this!

i would like to see it personally ;)

cause boxing aint the same without those two (i always like Tyson (sure he has issues) but he was GREAT back in the day (late 1980's) as he could punch FAST AND HARD! (watch reruns on espn classic channel) which is rare with someone of that size ... but nowadays, UFC is pretty much taking over anyways as far as fighting type sports are concerned cause it's the closest to REAL fighting as you can get thats why i like it. so i guess it dont matter to much if they do end up fighting.

Who actually beat Tyson :laugh:

So why would you want a loser to Williams back?

I am just pointing out a boxer who is boring but yeah he did beat Tyson lets face Tyson is broke and needs the dosh and one last pay day in Vegas would be perfect for him, maybe he could go for the other ear.

So let him go after Mayweather in WWE. Heavyweight boxing is in the **** heap as it is without Tyson coming back and making it worse.

Please we don't need this!

Actually, boxing DOES need this. No one gives a crap about the current top heavyweights, but Tyson is still a huge name and draw, and Holyfield is an all time great.

Yeah, they are old and the fight probably wouldn't do that great, but it would do huge pay per view buys.

So it's good for HBO and not for boxing.

I vote for less PPV circus acts. If the fight happens, I'll still watch it, but on YouTube. Its funny how popular the name still is though.

IMO boxing is dying. UFC style fighting involves a lot more skill. Also stuides have shown they are less typical to brain damage.

Glad its just your opinion, nothing else.

The HW division is terrible these days i couldn't tell you the last time i seen a good fight, i think if these guys got it on again it would be a hell of a fight, what have the got to lose i think they would just go toe to toe and the who hype would make it a fight to remember !

bring it on pensioners slugfest :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

That's like saying getting hit by a car at 50mph is less likely to kill you than 55mph.

That part of Pixel's statement is actually the most unbiased part of it. The deal is with the gloves. The commissions out there decided to add more padding to the them to allow matches to go longer. This constant banging at the head causes the most damage. Its why you get quicker knockouts and less long term damage in MMA, because of the size of the gloves.

You also forgot to mention in MMA if your getting hit in the head you can also go for a takedown and change the game, in boxing you have no option other than to stand and trade shot for shot, you can't turn it into a wrestling match or a jit-jitsu match which you can do in MMA.

Back on Topic:

I would watch ... sadly enough this would probably be the best selling boxing ppv in a long time and probably by a wide margin.

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
    • Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.
    • +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
