They have reimagined the sport of boxing in a very exciting new way,&#8221; Holyfield said. &#8220;Their combination of young talent, music, entertainment and special matchups is setting a new standard for our sport, and my return to the ring for this fight is one that everyone, myself included, will enjoy, and I am proud to help take this to the next level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/boxing-news\/evander-holyfield-on-mike-tyson-trilogy-fight-i-think-its-going-to-happen\/\">Rumors were that Evander Holyfield would fight Mike Tyson next<\/a>, but instead, he will take on McBride, who ironically defeated Tyson in 2005 in what was &#8220;Iron Mike&#8221;&#8216;s last pro fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boxing legend Evander Holyfield will return to the ring on June 5 when he takes on Kevin McBride in a Triller Fight Club boxing match.
