according to ********** dot com tyson has a plan on making it back to the ring to fight holyfield .holyfield responded (ive whooped him twice and ill whoop him again)??
what do you think of this battle of the wash ups fight?
I wont beleive it till i hear sumthing official. It'd be a fight id pay to see on PPV, but idk if tyson would go apeshit again....
LOL apeshit.
I too would be interested to see this, I wouldn't want it to happen though. Why not some more exhibition bouts for Mike. I mean he would really not go by his word that he doesn't want to dissrespect the sport he loved if he fights again. I really don't believe it will happen.

Is this a joke ?
That was a good read. Mike seems like he opens up to that guy, and he was honest about everything. I hope Mike doesnt come back to fight though, cause he can make money in other ways (like they said.)
Tyson could come back to fight bums and still make millions. Personally although I KNOW this is between two washed up old ass fighters I would still probably pay to watch.
If this keeps Tyson and Holyfield from fighting real boxers I'm all for it. Let the old men compete against each other, they should make a veteran world championship or something like that. Ol' Holy could go after that.
I still got my "ill be back" tshirt from tysons prison stint. He hasnt been more than a 5 rd fighter since coming back. Id say at this point w lots of training his stamina and back are good for about 30 seconds.
ya thats where i read it... but of course you have to pay
so here ya go
Just grabbed this article off another site, which i wont say what considering this place gets all offended wen you reach outside to other sources... but this one is worth it...
"IRON" MIKE TYSON: "I'M GOING TO GO HARD AT IT ONE MORE TIME!"
Tyson breaks silence, wants third fight with Holyfield!
GL: My phone's been ringing with a couple of people asking me about you possibly fighting Evander Holyfield later this year. I didn't believe when I heard it, but now that I'm privileged enough to have you on the horn, can you tell us if that's something you're interested in?
Mike Tyson: "Sometimes I say yeah it is and sometimes I say it isn't. I'm in one of those up in the air moments. It's something I want to do it all depends on how many tickets (or millions*) are involved." Editors Note: Tickets are slang for millions of dollars.
GL: You've been talking to me about getting your personal life back together, you're about to get your house situated in Vegas. Can you describe the place your are mentally following all of the BS that has been going on the last couple of months?
Mike Tyson: "Greg I'm pretty down man. Everybody else thinks I'm on the uphill, but I'm feeling pretty down."
GL: Why?
Mike Tyson: "I don't know. I guess don't feel good. People look at materialism and think that's what makes people happy in life, you know?"
GL: What does it take to make you happy then? Obviously it's not material items.
Mike Tyson: "Having my shit fully together, my happines, getting all of my kids functioning together and having a relationship with all of them. You couldn't even imagine what it would be like to not have a relationship with all of your kids."
GL: I'm going to my own problems, but I'm sure you've got enough of your own that you don't need to hear about mine right about now.
Mike Tyson: "I do brother, so you know what I mean then, right?"
GL: I feel you with both hands on that one. But you know Mike, you don't really have to get back into the ring to make serious money. You could do a book, a movie...
Mike Tyson: (cutting in) "I'm doing all of that now though Greg, but listen Greg, can I tell you something? All of that stuff is good and there might be good money and stuff, but it ain't the same thing Greg."
GL: It ain't the same thing how?
Mike Tyson: "It's not the same as far as, and I know everybody is going to say don't do that again Mike, but it's not the same thing as thumping and rumbling and all of that shit."
GL: If you're at a point where one minute you want to fight and the next day you don't, it would appear that you are uncertain about stepping through those ropes again...
Mike Tyson: (cutting in) "Not really. Not really. My life is kind of steadfast. If I'm making money with an autobiography, or making money with a movie, all of that shit is slow compared to the fight business."
GL: Do you think you have the love for boxing to give the fight business a serious go?
Mike Tyson: "I can. I think I'm going to go at it hard one more time. To be honest Greg, I want to just get in the gym for three months and then see how I feel about it."
GL: Would you really entertain Holyfield Mike?
Mike Tyson: "It depends on the ticket."
GL: For those unaware of the vernacular of the ticket, a ticket is $1M. So it just comes down to the dollars and cents.
Mike Tyson: "Exactly."
GL: Anytime you put the names Tyson and Holyfield on a banner it's going to be a huge event, but based on Holyfield's last fight and your absence, don't you think a preliminary round that would feature you and Evander on the same card in winnable fights would make the fight bigger?
Mike Tyson: "Probably so, but I wouldn't want to do that, I want to go straight at him."
GL: Will you be able to deal with his rough house tactics? You know he's not going to change the way he fights.
Mike Tyson: "That's ok. I might change the way I fight."
GL: Is Holyfield the kind of guy that can get you up for a fight?
Mike Tyson: "He's the guy for me to fight and I could always get up to fight him. He's the kind of fight that could make me have an affair with boxing again. I don't know if I can fall back in love with boxing, but I'm ready to have a love affair for a few months."
GL: Do you have any thoughts the legal stuff you've gone through over the past couple of months?
Mike Tyson: "I don't think about that stuff. I needed the day off to get away from everybody."
GL: Have you been keeping your temple clean?
Mike Tyson: "I'm as clean as the board of health. "
GL: Has that had a positive impact on your mental state?
Mike Tyson: "I don't know, I'm more irritable, I noticed that."
GL: Now that you're as clean as the board of health, are you interested in pursuing commentating gigs?
Mike Tyson: "Nobody is interested in me in that field. I haven't seen any red carpets come out for me. I don't think anybody is looking for me in that perspective."
GL: Is that something you'd entertain if the red carpet were rolled out?
Mike Tyson: "It's not going to happen Greg, they don't feel me like that."
GL: Do you knock Holyfield out in the third fight?
Mike Tyson: "That would be my goal. If I get in there with him I'd just be looking to knock him out."
GL: Do you really think you can find what you once described as that shit that made you want to leave the ring a bloody mess with your opponents mother crying and screaming about their baby from ringside?
Mike Tyson: "I guess the best way to answer that is, I'm sorry madam. It looks like I'm going to have to."
GL: What kind of shape are you in now?
Mike Tyson: "Oh horrible."
GL: How long would it take for you to get in shape?
Mike Tyson: "Like I said, three months."
