http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/players/evander_holyfield/74128 Recent articles about Evander Holyfield en-us I’m all ears T.. Talk about full circle. Former Heavyweight Champ Real Deal Holyfield was spotted at Tyson’s Broadway show. Here’s the scoop from my source on the seen. “Good story for you. I went to Tyson’s broadway show, the self told story of his life, and guess who was sitting in front of me. Holyfield. Hilarious.” It goes to show you forgiveness is always an option, even when someone tries to bite your ear off. The two were later seen giving hugs and playing nice.

The reunited pair were at Jewel-Osco on Chicago's South Side where Holyfield was signing autographs and promoting his new Real Deal barbecue sauce. This time the two foes were all hugs and smiles as they posed for photos together. It brought back memories of a bygone era (ear-a?) when a Tyson or Holyfield fight was a must-see sporting event. "I just wanted to see Evander, man," said a beaming Tyson.  "I love Evander.  I'm forever linked with him for the rest of my life." "I think he was letting people know that he was wrong and what happened, happened," said Holyfield. "He appreciates that I forgave him.  He's forgiven himself.

The restricted items include Holyfield's robes from his first fight with Mike Tyson and his Olympic bronze medal. Holyfield had sought to limit the sale of 20 items during an auction on Nov. 30 that is being organized by Julien's Auctions and will still feature several robes and other gear Holyfield wore during his fighting career. Holyfield faces irreparable harm if the items are sold, U.S. District Court Judge Christina A. Snyder ruled, but the former boxer may have to post a bond to keep the items from being sold as he continues to argue his case that the items should be returned. The exact amount will be determined later.

Holyfield's lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles seeks an order blocking the sale of 20 out of almost 450 items that Julien's Auctions plans to sell in November. Julien's Auctions CEO Darren Julien says his company has worked for months to organize a world-class auction of Holyfield's memorabilia and other items. He says the company had approval from Holyfield to list the items for sale and has already advanced him hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Celebrity news website TMZ reported, citing court documents, that the former heavyweight champion has been held in contempt of court in Georgia for failing to pay $563,900.91 in back child support. The latest charge stems from an initial payment of more than $372,000 that Holyfield owed in support of his 18-year-old daughter, Emani. TMZ reported that, according to court documents, that amount increased to $563,900.91, and Holyfield was held in contempt and ordered by a judge to pay $2,950 per month to clear the debt. Holyfield made an initial $17,700 payment, TMZ reported, but the judge also ordered that a percentage of Holyfield's income be earmarked to pay down the debt. According to a biography on Holyfield's website, the former boxing star made more than $230 million in the ring. But he's faced numerous financial difficulties since. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Holyfield recently foreclosed on his Fayette Tue, 18 Sep 2012 14:30:03 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/report_holyfield_held_in_contempt/11746720 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/report_holyfield_held_in_contempt/11746720 Report: Holyfield held in contempt http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/articles/report_holyfield_held_in_contempt/11746720 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Evander Holyfield could be preparing himself for jail time, as the boxer is $500,000 in the hole when it comes to paying child support. TMZ is reporting that Holyfield is in contempt of court in Georgia for failing to pay more than half of million in back child support. The Georgia Department of Human Services went after Holyfield because he owed $372,097.40 in support of his 18-year-old daughter, Emani Holyfield. According to court documents filed in Georgia, the amounts grew to $563,900.91. A judge held Holyfield in contempt and ordered to pay $2,950 per month to clear his debt. Holyfield began making payments, as he wrote out a check for $17,700, which knocked down the debt down to $546,200.91. The judge also ordered a percentage of Holyfield's income to be earmarked to pay down the debt.  Sun, 16 Sep 2012 16:45:00 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/evander_holyfield_to_serve_jail_time_due_to_500000_child_support_debt/11729026 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/evander_holyfield_to_serve_jail_time_due_to_500000_child_support_debt/11729026 Evander Holyfield To Serve Jail Time Due To $500,000 Child Support Debt http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/articles/evander_holyfield_to_serve_jail_time_due_to_500000_child_support_debt/11729026 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Yes, this is as bizarre as it sounds. Despite being fierce competitors in the ring it doesn’t seem to impede the product shilling abilities of both Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson. Holyfield was wearing a shirt from Mike Tyson’s clothing line that features his infamous face tattoo and tweeted this message. @miketyson bit my ear and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. twitter.com/holyfield/stat… — Evander Holyfield (@holyfield) August 28, 2012 Mike Tyson returned the favor with his own ear biting joke. A cookout just isn’t a cookout without @holyfield‘s#realdealBBQsauce. Get some! It’s ear-licking good! instagr.am/p/PIb5mdt6wa/ — Mike Tyson (@MikeTyson) September 3, 2012 Is it me or is this just really odd? I don’t know if I could ever forgive someone who bit a part of my ear off and permanently disfigured me.

First Iron Mike helped promote Holyfield’s BBQ sauce, and now Evander has returned the favor, showing off a t-shirt from the Mike Tyson Collection in a rather hilarious tweet… A t-shirt sure beats the tetanus shot and rabies vaccine Holyfield received the first time around.

Life’s too short for the parties involved to not joke about it now, and that is exactly what they have been doing over the past few months. Back in June, Tyson promoted Holyfield’s barbecue sauce on his Twitter account by writing that Holyfield’s ear would have tasted better with it. On Monday, Holyfield tweeted the photo you see above along with the following: “@MikeTyson bit my ear and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.” The shirt can be purchased online as part of the Mike Tyson Collection, so it appears the two former heavyweight champions have turned into promoters for each other. It’s no secret Holyfield has had some financial problems recently, so perhaps it is a relationship that can benefit both. Good for them for turning the whole thing into water under the bridge.
