Boxing: Holyfield toil with Klitschko for comeback fight

The big revenge 23 years after the ear bite scandal between Mike Tyson (53) and Evander Holyfield (57) seems to be getting closer.

The two older gentlemen do not want to fight to the blood. “It should be an exhibition, not necessarily about victory, loss or knockouts,” explains Holyfield. “I didn’t want to get in the ring anymore because I said that if I quit, I’ll definitely quit. But an exhibition is something else, I don’t kill myself. I will hardly do more than three three-minute rounds. »
