The war of words before the giant Hollyfield-Tyson rhymes, first attack launched

The effect can be done if Tyson wants to. If I asked him, it'd be like if I were to make a panic against someone who beat him two times”. For BBC microphones, Evander Hollyfield leaves open the possibility of a third challenge in the Saga with Iron Mike, which this time will be held for charity scheduled for three rounds. “I don't want to be pressured by the fact that you're going to fight Mike because you know you can beat him” has explained the former King of Weight, now 58 years old.

The two boxers were facing a career twice, with Hollyfield always winning: the first time in 1996, which ended up with KO in the 11th round, and then a day later, in the match that went into history when Tyson broke off some of his rival's ear and qualified in the 3rd round.

Hollyfield held the last of his 57 professional matches in 2011 when he won a 44-co-tech victory in front of Danish Brian Nielsen in Kopenaghen. Tyson, who became the world's newest heavyweight champion in 1986, left boxing 15 years ago after his 58th match, marking his sixth career loss in front of Kevin McBride. Waiting for a call from the eternal enemy, Hollyfield has returned to train with the help of former Ukrainian champion Wladimir Klitscho.

Since Tyson resumed training to return to the ring, opponents willing to challenge him are ever on the rise: from former Boxer Shannon Briggs, to U n FC Hall of Family Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock, to legendary Wenderley Silva.
