It's like 'Rocky 23' or sommat ...
Evander Holyfield claims he could fight Mike Tyson for a third time.
Holyfield has beaten Tyson twice in his career and the second victory in 1997 came as a result of Tyson's disqualification for biting a chink out of his ear.
"If the price is right I probably would" - Evander Holyfield
Both men are in their 40s now and could be tempted to meet again for another bumber pay day.
Holyfield said: "There has been some talk between us. Mike had Jeff Fenech, who's been training him, called me a few months ago. Jeff says Mike wants to fight me again, but he needs to know if I would agree to it.
"I said, 'It all depends on what they are going to give us - because I'm gonna catch a lot of flak if I say I'm fighting Mike Tyson again. I've already said I don't want to fight Mike no more'.
"Jeff says, 'What if Mike gets in proper shape?' I told him that's OK but I can't be part of it if Mike's going to pull out. Jeff said, 'The main thing Mike wants to know is if you would be willing to fight him again?' I said, 'Yeah, if the price is right, I probably would'."
