He thinks Evander would knock him out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although Kavanaugh believes Mike Tyson is scared to fight Evander Holyfield, it seems unlikely that would be true.

When that will be is uncertain, but it&#8217;s likely Tyson will return to the ring soon in another exhibition bout. Holyfield, meanwhile, is set to return to the ring against Vitor Belfort in the main event of Triller Fight Club Legends 2 on Saturday in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>What do you make of Ryan Kavanaugh saying Mike Tyson is scared to fight Evander Holyfield?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ryan Kavanaugh, the CEO of Triller Fight Club claims Mike Tyson is scared to fight Evander Holyfield.
