Former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis, 42, told BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportweek that Evander Holyfield, 45, and Mike Tyson, 41, should never meet for a third time.
Last week Holyfield revealed that he was recently contacted by Jeff Fenech, on behalf of Tyson, asking whether or not he was interested in fighting Tyson for a third time. Lewis feels that Tyson does not stand a chance of winning.
"I wouldn't give Tyson a hope. Evander's obviously the better fighter but I'd rather see him do something else. Why fight the same fight again? We all know who would to win. There's always a danger every time you step into the ring with a man who weighs over 200lbs and is throwing hard punches at you," Lewis said. "But one of the reasons that made me quit is the things I used to do at 20, I couldn't do anymore when I got to 40."
Lewis retired back in 2004, but admits that he still gets the urge to return when watching fights.
"When I see certain fights I'm thinking 'these guys, what are they doing? They need me to go in and show them how it's done'. I get that urge once in a while, but I understand what happens as you age, and I've moved onto other things," Lewis said.
