““Iron Mike” refused the trilogy”, — write: sport.ua
Legendary boxer Mike Tyson received an offer to hold a match with the former absolute world champion Evander Holyfield.
In 2021, Holyfield’s manager Chris Lawrence offered Tyson a fight. Mike was promised a fee of 25 million dollars. However, Tyson refused this fight, and three years later agreed to fight with Jake Paul for 20 million, where he lost by unanimous decision of the judges.
Holyfield met Tyson twice in his career, the first time he won by technical knockout in the 11th round. In the second match, Mike bit off a piece of Evander’s ear and the fight ended with the victory of Holyfield after disqualification of Tyson.
Earlier, Holyfield reacted to Mike Tyson’s loss to Paul.
