As of my last update in January 2022,
there hasn’t been any confirmed news about a upcoming confrontation between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield.
However, there have been persistent rumors and speculation within
the boxing community regarding a potential third fight between the two heavyweight legends.
The speculation gained traction after Mike Tyson returned to the ring for an exhibition bout against fellow former champion Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020. Tyson’s impressive performance and the overwhelming interest generated by the exhibition reignited talk of potential matchups with other former rivals, including Holyfield.
Evander Holyfield, for his part, has also expressed interest in a potential rematch with Tyson. In interviews, Holyfield has hinted at his willingness to step back into the ring for the right opportunity, fueling rumors of a third showdown between the two fighters.
While both Tyson and Holyfield have expressed interest, there has been no official confirmation or announcement regarding a potential rematch. Negotiations between the two camps, along with logistical and regulatory considerations, would need to be addressed before any such fight could take place.
It’s worth noting that both Tyson and Holyfield are well into their 50s, and any potential bout would likely be an exhibition match rather than a sanctioned title fight. Nevertheless, the prospect of seeing two of boxing’s greatest champions back in the ring together has generated significant excitement among fans and the boxing community.
As of now, fans will have to wait for official confirmation or announcements from Tyson, Holyfield, or their respective promoters before any concrete details about a potential confrontation between the two heavyweight legends emerge. Until then, the rumors will continue to swirl, keeping the boxing world on edge with anticipation.
