Evander Holyfield to fight Glenn McCrory next year

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

Holyfield has been teasing a return to the sport that made him a world champion for months.

The Real Deal has shared photos and videos on his social media accounts showing gruelling training routines and his impressive physique at 58 years old.

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.
