EVANDER HOLYFIELD will fight “the beast” next and not “the baddest.”
The ex-world heavyweight champ who refuses to quit until he wins the title for a fifth time, controversially lost on points to the “Beast from the East” Nikolay Valuev last month.
Holyfield, 46, twice beat Mike Tyson, known as the baddest man on the planet, in his prime.
But stories they were about to fight again have been dismissed by Holy’s manager Ken Sanders.
He said: “It’s not true Evander is fighting Tyson. A third fight with Tyson is just not happening.
“In fact we are talking to Valuev’s team about a re-match in April.
“Tyson is walking around at something like 280lbs and couldn’t fight if he wanted to — anyway he’s a coward.”
