Evander updated his Twitter TODAY but hasn't mentioned a word of this. :rolleyes:
Former cruiserweight world champion Glenn McCrory, 56, claims he has agreed BARE KNUCKLE boxing match with 58-year-old heavyweight legend Evander Holyfield as retired fighters look to follow Mike Tyson's comeback
  • Glenn McCrory has suggested he has agreed a fight with Evander Holyfield
  • The 56-year-old former cruiserweight says it will be a bare knuckle contest
  • Holyfield has been getting back into shape and has suggested he wants a return




Former cruiserweight champion Glenn McCrory has claimed he and Evander Holyfield have agreed terms on a sensational bare knuckle boxing bout.

The 56-year-old, who was the IBF world title holder from 1989 to 1990, shared a post on Twitter with a poster depicting the pair and branded with a Bare Knuckle Boxing trademark.

Under the headline 'Legends Return' pictures of the pair back int their prime, along with pictures of the pair today, seem to show an air of legitimacy.

Challenged on whether it was true or not, McCrory replied to those who were skeptical as to the veracity of the claim, after posting his own tagline which read 'Now or Never'.

Replying to TV and Radio presenter Adam Catterall, when asked if the bout was real, McCrory replied: '100 per cent''.

The Sky Sports pundit then assured another Twitter user that the promotion poster was 'no joke'.

As yet, Holyfield has not made any post of his own, or acknowledged an agreement with McCrory.

Holyfield, who is 58, has long documented his attempts to get back into the ring, and has teamed up with the likes of Wladimir Klitschko in a bid to regain his shape.

The boxing legend has been a regular poster to social media, updating followers on his return to fitness and has even teased the possibility of a rematch with Mike Tyson.

Tyson himself made his long-anticipated return to the ring on Saturday night, when he drew with Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition bout in Los Angeles.

His performance was such that there have even been claims made that Tyson could make a shock return to the realms of title bouts.

Former world heavywright champion George Foreman said: 'If he gets in shape like he's in now, gets his timing back, and all the other things fall into place, he can have an opportunity to fight for the title.

'If he can be managed right, the right champion will come to him. And if the right one comes, he can knock him out.'
 
Nothing better than smoking a bud, taking a couple shots of Henny, and watching two old geezers beat each other's brains out!

Fuck yeah! I'm in! I hope one of them shits their shorts in the ring!


:cheers: :roflmao::lol:
 
The Triller fight was a "success" because of Tyson and Snoop - they are both supposedly part owners of Triller. But NONE of them have anything to do with this BKB BS.

Another bad sign is the fact that the www.bkbonline.co.uk address on the poster does not even connect to a working URL.
 
Not much of a boxing fan, but I've heard that bare knuckle boxing is much safter.

The reason is that it discourages the fighters from swinging at the side of their opponent's heads because it can damage the knuckles. That means there's far less chance of a concussion or CTE.
 
As soon as they enter that ring I'mma pitch 100 worth of crack at both of,they'll forget all about a match.
 




 
Damn shame, he is this broke to have to do this at his age.
I don’t think this will happen. He ain’t that broke to put his life on the line and if so it should be against a better opponent. This is some “Great White Hype” type shit.

You were that kid in the back ground who liked to instigate fights weren't you?
