John Fury sends warning to Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield over exhibition bout

John Fury has put heavyweight legends Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield on notice as he pursues a big money exhibition bout.

Fury Senior, 58, was never a particularly noteworthy fighter during his heyday, and certainly wasn't near the world level like Tyson, 55, or Holyfield, 59. But he has emerged as a beloved character in British boxing as he works alongside his famous sons including world heavyweight champion Tyson and Love Island star Tommy.

And the former boxer wants to cash in on the trend of retired boxers stepping back in the ring for major money exhibitions that don't appear on the fighter's records. Holyfield most recently faced Vitor Belfort in September and was viciously stopped after watching Tyson and Roy Jones Jr fight to a draw in November 2020.
