Holyfield open to charity bout against Tyson

Boxing fans could be treated to a third fight between Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson.

Holyfield announced Wednesday on Twitter that he's coming out of retirement to fight in exhibition bouts for charity, which sparked discussions about a possible match against Tyson. While Tyson isn't his first choice for an opponent, Holyfield is open to facing him again.

"My manager, they've been talking and all that," Holyfield told TMZ Sports. "But the fact is that with me personally, I think for me to ask, the only person that I would actually really ask is Riddick Bowe, 'cause me and him buddies."

Holyfield defeated Tyson via 11th round TKO in their first bout in 1996 and won the rematch the following year when Tyson was disqualified for biting off part of Holyfield's ear.

"There's a lot of things me and Mike have done together that works," Holyfield said. "Obviously the people like to see the two best people. Some people didn't get the chance to see Mike and I."

Tyson recently announced that he, too, is interested in doing charity bouts and has started training again.
