    Now Evander Holyfield, 57, says he's returning to ring

    https://boxingjunkie.usatoday.com/20...tent=home-hero


    This is like when they bring back an old TV show that's been off the air for 20+ years

    Sad. Evander used to be a pretty articulate guy. He’s pretty punch drunk when he talks now. This won’t end well.

    Unfortunately fighting well beyond your prime is very common in boxing. Many examples of this where boxers do irreparable damage to themselves.

    Boxing "exhibitions" are often slo-mo sparring sessions. If he was coming back for an actual fight it would be sad, but if he can raise some money safely doing exhibition then kudos to him... not that I would pay any money to see it, though.

    Just what we need during no sports virus era. A senior boxing tour with incoherent boxers with bad bladders and wearing diapers. Sign me up or let them play Fight Night and live stream it as they try to figure out which boxer is actually them.

    57 years old is OLD... I guess if anyone can do it at that age it's Evander, dude was always a physical specimen.

    Who really wants to see an old Tyson or Holyfield fight 3 or 4 round exhibition matches with total hand picked cans though? Not me.

    If Tyson was actually gonna fight Holyfield in an exhibition now that I might watch.

    Wasn’t the Creed-Drago fight also an exhibition?

    This won’t end well for Evander.

    tyson is in a happy good place, got a good income coming in from his weed business, life is good.

    His Ring life was all about exorcising his demons and deep insecurity and hunger coming from poverty of $ and love.

    if he were to tap into that, he would open the pandora's box of all those crippling emotions he finally seems to have overcome. He's smart enough to know that and wouldn't open himself up to the competitive nature of a Holyfield exhibition.

    The guy in his prime used to cry before and after fights because he was so ****** up and scared.

    he's not that dude anymore

    Maybe he loses? Either way makes a nice chunk of cash and the books will get lots of action

    Thing is, it always was.

    It's just that reality TV didn't exist as that name then.
