JAKARTA - One of the most eagerly awaited boxing fights in the world this year is approaching a bright spot. Two former world champions, Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson, are said to be going to a fist fight in their trilogy battle.
A poster has been released for the fight planned for July 11 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.
There is still no official confirmation from the promoter, but the released posters have sparked rumors on social media.

If this battle really happened, it would be the third meeting of the two legends. In the previous two episodes, Holyfield was always the winner.
Holyfield won by TKO in the 11th round over Tyson on November 9, 1996. One year later, June 26 to be precise, The Real Deal again faced The Neck Concrete.
This second battle was adorned with the incident of Tyson biting Holyfield's ear twice. He was disqualified and lost his boxing license in the state of Nevada, although he was later able to recover from the 'sin'.
Holyfield (57 years) and Tyson (53 years) announced some time ago that they will return to wearing their gloves for a charity fight.
Tyson was the first to provide the grid for a return to the boxing ring since a few weeks ago. He posted a video on Instagram doing the exercises. At 53 years old, Tyson is still agile and creepy.
Soon, Holyfield also posted a video training and announced that he would return to the ring. From there, there is speculation that the two of them will have a trilogy match.
