Evander Holyfield’s camp claims Mike Tyson fight does not happen, ‘Deal Fell Apart’

Puppy, sounds like Mike Tyson against Evander Holyfield is dead … Evander’s camp says the negotiations for a 3rd fight between the boxing legends have fallen apart.

“We thought it was a complete deal, but it quickly fell apart when Tyson’s people turned down all offers,” he said. Kris Lawrence said.

“We negotiated in good faith all the time and it seems we are finally wasting our time.”

As we reported earlier, 54-year-old Tyson announced on his podcast last week that he will be return to the ring on May 29 in a massive event at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

Tyson does not name his opponent – but all signs point to his old nemesis, 58-year-old Evander Holyfield.

Now Evander’s camp confirms that the two parties have been in serious talks – several months of intense negotiations – but the agreement is ultimately southward.

“Team Holyfield sincerely believed that an agreement was imminent, especially after the Hard Rock threw their support behind the project, and several other offers were transferred to Team Tyson,” Holyfield’s camp said in a statement.

“However, Team Tyson’s demands have recently become untenable, and not what Mike Tyson originally agreed to in direct talks with Holyfield.”

Our sources tell us … Evander claims that he spoke to Mike personally by telephone early in negotiations and they agreed to a 50/50 split on profits.

But things have changed … with Evander’s camp claiming that Team Tyson simply wanted a bigger cut.

Holyfield’s team says they were trying to reach an agreement in which Tyson would receive a guaranteed $ 25 million for the fight – but Mike turned it down.

It appears that both parties are at odds and are willing to step down from the agreement.

Our sources on the Holyfield side tell us that Evander still wants to fight – if Mike’s people come back to the table with a better offer.

So there is still hope … but at the moment it does not look good.
