Evander Holyfield says trilogy bout with Mike Tyson ‘looks like it’s going to happen’

Boxing legend Evander Holyfield is ‘very confident’ in a trilogy bout with Mike Tyson after the 58-year-old called out ‘Iron Mike’ following his eight-round boxing exhibition with Roy Jones Jr. last month.

Tyson, who fought Jones to a draw at an empty Staples Center, revealed at the post-fight press conference that he and Holyfield had been in talks about a rematch for months but — for whatever reason — the bout had never came to fruition.

Speaking to TMZ Sports on Monday, however, Holyfield hinted that things had changed since then and teased of a rematch in the near future.
