What Happens To The Legend?

On November 9th, 1996, people around the world, especially boxing fans, were given the
greatest show ever in the history of modern boxing. "The Iron" Mike Tyson, who held the
WBA heavyweight title with 45 wins, one loss, and 39 TKOs, was challenged by Evander
Holyfield, "The Warrior" from Alabama, in MGM Arena, Las Vegas. Holyfield, who has
recorded 32 wins, three losses, and 23 TKOs, is a serious challenger to win the title from
Tyson.

When the first round bell rang, Tyson started the first round by sending a couple of punches
to Holyfield. The combination had caused Holyfield to stumble slightly. But Holyfield could
handle it and get back into the battle. In the upcoming rounds, Holyfield succeeds in landing
his punches on Tyson and puts him in trouble. With the combination of jabs, hooks, and
uppercuts, Tyson was really in serious trouble. The best moment comes in the sixth
round, when the uppercut from Holyfield hits Tyson and makes him kiss the ground for the
first time. The crowd who watched it live was getting rumbled after the intense attack by
Holyfield hit Tyson many times in the tenth round. And before the end of the eleventh round,
the referee, Mitch Halpern, decided to stop the battle and give Holyfield a TKO win. It was to
become the second loss for Mike Tyson, and also the completed mission for Holyfield to take
the WBA heavyweight title. It was a great battle between two living legends that will always
be remembered by boxing lovers from around the world.

Nowadays, the prestige of boxing is no longer what it was a decade or two ago. It has been
eliminated by other fight sports such as MMA or martial arts. People are more familiar with
Connor McGregor, Anderson Silva, and Khabib Nurmagomedov than the top five WBA
boxers. All eyes were on it when one of them had a duel. Every big match is always becoming
the world's consumption. The question is, why are boxing fights not as intense as MMA?

Is that because there are no more good boxers?

Or is there no longer a big promoter like Don King?

If you said there are still, who do you think deserves to take it in a big battle and become a
new legend?
