Evander Holyfield surprised fans when he announced that he’s planning on making a comeback to boxing. Holyfield announced his return in a tweet, saying that he would be “fighting in exhibition matches for a great cause, #Unite4OurFight.” On the Unite 4 Our Fight website.
The boxer said he would fight in exhibition matches to raise support for Unite4OurFight, which helps learning and emotional development projects aimed at children whose schooling was disrupted by the deadly virus outbreak.
“Are you ready? The moment you’ve all been waiting for… The Champ is back!” Holyfield posted on Twitter. “I’d like to announce that I will be making a comeback to the ring. I will be fighting in exhibition matches for a great cause.”
During his career, which started in 1984, he was the only boxer in history to win the undisputed championship in two weight classes, and he is the only four-time world heavyweight champion.
Holyfield is actually following in the footsteps of his old rival and buddy Mike Tyson, who had previously stated that he wanted to come back to the ring to participate in three to four-round charity exhibition bouts to help those affected by drugs and homelessness.
Tyson revealed his training regimen: “I do about two hours on cardio, I do the bike and I do the treadmill for an hour. Then I do some light weights – 300, 250 reps. Then I start my day with the boxing thing. Then I go in there and hit the mitts for like 30 minutes, 25 minutes. Gotta get in better condition.”
