One of boxing's most anticipated clashes could actually happen again. Evander Holyfield told the English newspaper, The Sun, that he would fight for the third time with Mike Tyson if he received the grant of US$35 million (around R$59 million).
In 1997, the boxers faced each other in Las Vegas, in the United States, in a fight marked by Tyson biting Holyfield. The attacker was disqualified and the winner received the highest fee of his life. A year earlier, Holyfield had already beaten his rival.
“Last time, I made $35 million for nine minutes of work. People always say 'Tyson bit you'. They never say 'hey, you got $35 million,” he stated.
“The Muslims were shocked by this, but I, a Christian, forgave him. If we meet again, we won't have any problems. Tyson can play with my son,” he added.
