(Getty Images)Boxing legends Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield will stage an epic third fight in Abu Dhabi this October, Arabian Business can reveal. Full details of the historic fight have now been announced. It is understood that the bout will be held at the open air Zayed Sports City Stadium in front of 25,000 boxing fans, with sources indicating it will be the “richest fight in history.” The Tyson/Holyfield fight will be the finale to an evening that will first feature two separate world title bouts. One tentative date is Oct. 31, the night before the first ever Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Tyson, the 42 year old former world heavyweight champion - facing financial troubles - last stepped into the ring in November 2005, when he lost to Ireland's Kevin McBride. Story continues below ↓ advertisement Holyfield, now 46 years old, fought for the WBO heayweight belt in October 2007 when he was outpointed by Russian holder Sultan Ibragimov. Holyfield won both the previous two encounters with Tyson, including the famous “bitten ear” incident during their second meeting in 1997. Holyfield, who knocked out Tyson when they first met in 1996, was paid a record $34 million for their second meeting. Sources suggest that each fighter will earn more than $34 million for the Abu Dhabi clash, which is expected to be televised world-wide. It is also understood that a chunk of the earnings from the October event will be donated to an Autism charity. The fight is being put together by Hydra Properties CEO, Sulaiman Al Fahim, who said in a telephone interview on Sunday: “We have agreement from everyone needed and will make the official announcement next week. The idea is to stage the biggest ever fight in boxing history and to do it in Abu Dhabi, which would be a great global event for the UAE capital.”

yeah those arabs are freaking crazy extravagant all with us dollars. if it were up to me i'd bomb the **** out of saudi arabia and give free oil to the usa, screw making royalty rich imo. Go **** yourself. You wouldnt bomb a goddamn thing, especially since the holy city of mecca sits right there. Considering you yourself are military, you might want to conduct yourself a little better than that. You sound like a stereotypical representation of a typical no nothing redneck, except your a latin. This only proves that ignorance knows no bounds. Keep your trap shut.

Dubai isn't in Saudi Arabia you stupid redneck retard. BTW, USA tried doing that against a 3rd world country under sanctions that goes by the name of Iraq. Last i heard they had to purchase over 4000 Bodybags and help 30,000+ Soldiers with missing body parts. Know your place son He meant A-bomb.. :bottle:.. just thought to clear that up. Though I don't agree with him. Case closed...

for 34 million he'll strap another kid to at treadmill, tyson's retarded. That wasn't Called for. Just think about that for a second as you sit:puppy_dog in the corner.:bottle: Anyway..People would love to see this.. but I doubt this fight would happen.. People would expect Tyson to be KO'd... He's fat and doesn't even like to fight anymore.... He's doing good with his children.. why start this again.. and he just lost a child.. why? Thats all i would ask.. He doesn't need the money anymore.. he's doing fine just how he is.. so why is the question.

Has anyone seen what Mike looks like now? I hope this is another hoax. I seriously doubt Mike is going to jump in the ring or even be motivated to cut 40-50lbs by October AND be physically fit to fight. I don't see it happening.
