Mike Tyson has a tentative deal with boxing promoter Don King to
make a comeback this year, perhaps against Evander Holyfield,
according to an online report.
Tyson, who last fought in 2005 and lost three of his final
four bouts, is 43 years old. Holyfield is 47.
According to Ringside Report, the initial plan calls for
Tyson and Holyfield to face off for the third time but Tyson, 50-6
with 44 knockouts, may opt to tune up first against a lesser-known
opponent, which would push any subsequent bouts back into 2011.
Holyfield has signed to fight South African Francois Botha,
41, in Las Vegas on April 17.
