Holdin' Down The Culture
57-year-old Evander Holyfield has announced his return to the boxing ring to fight in the professional ranks, adding he will “be fighting in exhibition matches for a great cause.” Holyfield is partnering with Unite 4 Our Fight, which offers emotional development and educational resources for the youth. The 4x heavyweight boxing champion’s announcement come after Mike Tyson also proclaimed his intention to take on boxing fights for charity. Consider the timing coming from the announcements of both Holyfield and Tyson speculation is naturally rampant that the two men could fight again.
The Real Deal Holyfield captioned his post by writing,
“Are you ready?
The moment you’ve all been waiting for….
The Champ is back! 🥊
I’d like to announce that I will be making a comeback to the ring.
I’m training to promote a charity that’s very close to me. Our #Unite4OurFightcampaign aims to fill the void the pandemic has created on access to resources our youth needs for emotional development and education.
