Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield has said he is open to facing one-time rival Mike Tyson in a trilogy fight for charity on the condition that Tyson asks for the bout to be set up.
Tyson, 53, fought two epic bouts with Holyfield, 57, during their professional careers, including their controversial 1997 encounter in which Tyson bit off a chunk of Holyfield's ear.
"If I ask him it's almost like me being a bully saying I want to go against somebody I've beaten twice," Holyfield told the BBC."I don't want pressure on me that 'you just want to fight Mike because you know you can beat him'.
