According to Triller's Ryan Kavanaugh, MIKE TYSON is too scared to fight Evander Holyfield once again.
Iron Mike was offered a "massive payday" to enter the ring for a trio bout with Holyfield.

Kavanaugh says he would prefer to fight Lennox Lewis, however.
Sky Sports reported that he said: "We know he's trying to fight with Lennox Lewis.
"We were told that Evander is afraid to fight.
"There has been much back and forth, but Mike has a huge payday in his hands to fight for Thanksgiving. He has one of the biggest paydays!
"But we can’t seem to push the thing along.
"Now, I've heard from several reliable sources that Mike is too scared. He believes Evander would knock Mike out.
Holyfield, 58, beat Tyson by 11th round knockout back in 1996.
Their second fight would become infamous, when Tyson bit off a chunk of his opponent’s ear.
On the possibility of them meeting again in the ring, Holyfield said last year: “I don’t know, you would have to ask him!
“I wouldn’t ask nobody to do anything they don’t want to do. But it’s for charity. If we can work something out that works for everybody then it’s a win-win-win.”
Holyfield is set to fight Vitor Belfort on Saturday night, after stepping in for Oscar De La Hoya at just a week’s notice.
