Mike Tyson Faces New Challengers

After boxing legend Mike Tyson’s return to the ring against Roy Jones Jr., two former champions are now looking for another shot at fighting him.

Evander Holyfield, one of Tyson’s greatest opponents, made his challenge publicly known. Their 1997 bout is most remembered for Tyson taking a bite out Holyfield’s ear.

“A fight with me would be a global event,” Holyfield proclaimed.

“There is absolutely no reason why we shouldn’t make it happen. This is the fight that must happen for both our legacies. I’m ready.”

Buster Douglas, who upset Tyson in their 1990 match to become champion, said he was also up for another match with Tyson.

“Sure, I would welcome the opportunity,” said Douglas, whose knockout of Tyson was one of the biggest upsets in sports history.
