The famous Evand Hollyfield has decided to return to the field at the age of 58, which has sparked a debate about whether boxers should be limited by age. However, when you understand that this is the result of a "pay-per-view" model, there is no fuss.
Hollyfield will face Kevin McBride, known as the "Conqueror of Tyson", on June 5, who directly retired Tyson in 2005.
The battle between Holyfield vs McBride will be implemented on the Triller platform for PPV paid live broadcasting, originally Mike Tyson was also a signed boxer for Triller, but now he is gone and continues to focus on the "Legendary League" tournament he has created.
Hollyfield is the only player to have become an undisputed champion in the sub-heavyweight and heavyweights, and the record of 4 heavyweights has not been broken so far. For now, Hollyfield is looking forward to working with Triller.
Hollyfield said: "I'm proud to be joining Triller, which is what our industry needs, they've reinvented boxing in an exciting new way, when the combination of young talent, music, entertainment, special duels will set new standards, my return to boxing is something everyone will love and I'm honored to take to the next level on Triller."" ”
However, there are already many experts and media who have questioned the return of the old Huo da to the field, and there are 6 reasons to think that he is not suitable for this.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > Reason 1: Age is a hard injury</h1>
Hollyfield is 58 years old, in fact, a 60-year-old man, although after deciding to make a comeback, his preparation looks good, unfortunately doomed to not return to the state he was in, in view of this, the old Ho really should not return to the boxing ring.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > Reason 2: Body wear</h1>
In Hollyfield's entire career, he has experienced too many vicious battles, there is already too much evidence that boxers will be physically and psychologically traumatized after retirement, Hollyfield is naturally no exception, the key is his age, state caused by the body continues to wear out What will happen?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > Reason 3: It's been too long</h1> off the field
Hollyfield's last game dates back to 2001, and now that a decade has passed, how is he doing? Sometimes the old arms and legs will remind you to rest, but the fighting spirit of the boxer will cover up a lot of things, although the next McBride who fights the old Ho is sparse, but he has the advantage of being 11 years younger.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > Reason 4: Once ok, twice? </h1>
Hollyfield's name is the best advertising label in boxing, and the name alone can make him earn money, but that doesn't justify the comeback of the elderly boxer. Holyfield has said that after the victory over McBride, there will be a new game, his old opponent Tyson also has such a thought, as for the reason, no one wants to go through with money, while they can still move, make a few more, but the problem is, if you win once, you may carry out a second or third time, so the damage to health is obvious.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > Reason 5: Money can't be exchanged for health</h1>
This reason does not need to be explained too much, leaving aside the angle of making money, there is no other benefit, Hollyfield is an older boxer, has been injured many times in his career, if he comes back and is injured again, it is certainly not worth it, if the injury is serious, the consequences are naturally unimaginable.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > reason 6: negative effect</h1>
No matter how outstanding Tyson and Hollyfield have been in the past, the quality of their comeback is there now - not too high, especially far from the past, which will only satisfy some nostalgic boxing fans, it is difficult to make most people excited, and more importantly, the continuation of similar matches will affect the normal development of professional boxing to some extent.
