The end result may have been a draw, but many believe Tyson was the one who should’ve had his hand raised.

Heavyweight boxing legend Evander Holyfield told rival Mike Tyson to “sign the contract” for a trilogy fight between the two in 2021. Holyfield and Tyson had one of the most bitter and storied rivalries of the 1990s. In 1996, Holyfield knocked out Tyson to win the world heavyweight championship in boxing. In 1997, the two fought in a rematch in a fight that ended in a disqualification when Tyson bit Holyfield’s ear. For nearly 25 years this has been one of the heated rivalries in all of the combat sports. And it looks like we may finally get some closure.
