Tyson, 54, has been linked to a fight against his old rival Holyfield, 58, since his return to the ring last year. While reports suggested Tyson turned down a US$25 million (NZ$35m) offer to get back in the ring for the 'rematch', the man himself claims that the fight is happening on May 29. "I just want everybody to know the fight is on with me and Holyfield," Tyson said during an Instagram Live session with Haute Living.
