    According to tysontalk.com:

    Mike Tyson through his management team has released the following statement:

    “The rumors about me fighting Evander Holyfield are just that, rumors. Last week the rumors had me making a marriage proposal to a girl from England and this week they have me fighting Evander in October. The facts are I am promoting my documentary, TYSON, which comes out April 24th on the big screen, working on a book and looking forward to the release of the new EA Sports Fight Night 4 video game. ”


    So much for that.

    So far the greatest heavies are "Lewis, Holmes and Foreman" over the last 25 years...... I'm also glad to announce that at least we don't read about the above mentioned names in the Newspaper for Rioting, drunkeness, misconduct, alimony payments, tax evasion, steroids and fathering ******* children outta wedlock, etc....... These days, illegal activity seems to be the norm for actors and sportsman.....

    If such a fight was ever to happen it would be purely all about $$$$ anyway.

    I'm glad it's not, Mike deserves some peace and stability in his life after all the sport has taken from him.

    Good.

    Tyson would only end up getting injured - Holyfield would have battered him, badly.

    He needs to enjoy his retirement and not entertain any thoughts of a comeback.

    I was kinda hoping theyd come out and just lightly spar for 30 mins and get paid £35m each for it. It would have been an epic hustle.

    This fight would've been horrendous, not to mention being bad for thr sport.....Mike should try to recoup some financial losses and relax - life hasn't been all that kind to him.

    Any fight ever announced for Dubai should be just laughed off. People should know that by now.
