Mike Tyson responds to Evander Holyfield’s shock call-out for trilogy fight

Mike Tyson was comfortably defeated by Jake Paul in his return to professional boxing.

The Boxing icon entered the ring for the first time in four years when he faced Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition contest.

Prior to that his last pro bout was against Kevin McBride in 2005 where he put in a lacklustre performance and finally retired.

The fight against Paul went as many expected with Tyson being 58-years of age and sadly looking every bit of it.

Surprisingly following the fight, Tyson’s old rival Evander Holyfield called him out for a trilogy fight.

Holyfield himself made a return to boxing in 2021 but was stopped quickly by MMA veteran Vitor Belfort.

Taking to Instagram Holyfield posted a mocked up fight poster with the caption ‘The fans want it #unfinished business’

Thankfully it looks like ‘Iron Mike’ isn’t interested in the fight and replied, “I love you brother, but the trilogy is our friendship.”

The second fight was much more infamous with Tyson being disqualified for biting a chunk of Holyfield’s ear off in shocking scenes.
