Mike Tyson vs Evander Holyfield 3 is happening in May!
The last time Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield locked horns things ended pretty controversially. That is to say, Tyson took a chunk out of both of Holyfield’s ears. It certainly wasn’t a pretty sight by any stretch of the imagination, but it was memorable. Now the two hope to settle the score as Mike Tyson vs Evander Holyfield 3 is slated for May 29.
After it seemed like the fight wouldn’t happen at all, it appears that things are moving forward. Holyfield’s camp had initially reported that they couldn’t come to a agreement with the Tyson camp. It appears that has since changed. Mike Tyson vs Evander Holyfield 3 is happening.
The third fight is happening!
Mike Tyson has officially confirmed that the fight between the two old rivals is on.
“I just want everybody to know the fight is on with me and Holyfield,” said Tyson in an interview with Haute Living on Instagram.

Will the fight between the two be a simple exhibition or a legit no holds barred battle? That is yet to be seen. But if I had to venture a guess, this will likely be an exhibition. The Tyson vs Jones Jr. bout went on without a hitch, likely due to it being an exhibition bout. It’s likely that the same approach is taken here. It would likely be more difficult for both men, in their 50s now, to get a fight license.
Now that the two have buried the hatchet, with Holyfield forgiving Mike Tyson, and the latter reforming from his old ways, we’re likely to see an honest to goodness fair fight between the two. It may have come 25 years too late, but people can’t resist a spectacle. Both men are still in great shape and are willing to throw down, so why not.
