Evander Holyfield Says Mike Tyson Trilogy Could Make $100 Million, Claims Deal Is Almost Done

Evander Holyfield vs. Mike Tyson 3 is reportedly close to being done.

After Tyson made his return against Roy Jones Jr. and looked good, he said he would fight again. Immediately, many thought it would be the trilogy with Holyfield, and Holyfield said the deal is almost done and he believes it will make over $100 million.

“I think it will be a lot of money and a lot of millions. I think $100 million. The fight would be big because so many people want the fight,” Holyfield told Brian Custer on the Last Stand Podcast (via boxingscene). “We’re the top two guys people want to see. There’s no reason to do it with anybody else other than Tyson.

“The only thing that I hear people talking about [is] they want Tyson and myself. And you know, this is what the world wants to see. But you’re not in that situation, so you have to want to do it. So, I guess we have to come together and do it.”

Evander Holyfield vs. Mike Tyson 3 would be a big fight given the history they have. Holyfield has an 11th round TKO win in 1996 and a disqualification win in 1997 after Tyson bit a piece of his ear off.

It also shouldn’t be surprising to hear Holyfield say the fight is done as Zab Judah, a friend of Tyson, recently said the fight is a done deal.

“The fight is made, the fight is done, Mike Tyson versus Evander Holyfield part three, amazing,” Judah told Metro on February 7. “Everything about that fight interests me, you just got to look at one and two and there’s no doubt why you wouldn’t want to watch number three, no doubt. The fight is signed, sealed and delivered and Mike is training everyday and Evander is training everyday and both men are coming in there to do their job, they are not playing brother, there will be no playing. Mike Tyson versus Evander Holyfield part three, it’s going down, it’s going to be real. It’s going to be a great fight for a third time. It’s going to be in Dubai, that’s what I’m hearing. That’s what the advertisement said.”
