Tyson said (during an IG Live session with Haute Living), “I just want everybody to know the fight is on with me and Holyfield.”
“Holyfield’s a humble man I know that and he’s a man of God but I’m God’s man. Listen, I’m going to be successful May 29.”
It was just Monday that Evander’s manager issued a statement saying talks had “fallen apart” between the two sides.
The two sides were eyeing a May 29 fight date at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
The dispute came down to money — Holyfield’s camp says Team Tyson wanted a huge cut, and even turned down a $25 million guarantee.
The two boxing legends last fought in 1997, and it ended with Tyson biting a chunk out of Evander’s ear. Holyfield’s last pro fight was in 2011, when he earned a TKO victory over Brian Nielsen.
