Harpo Productions announced Wednesday the two fighters would appear on Friday's live episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" from Chicago.
On June 28, 1997, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Tyson was disqualified after biting off part of Holyfield's right ear during their WBA heavyweight title fight.
Winfrey aired an interview with Tyson on Monday during which he discussed the death of his 4-year-old daughter and talked about his family. Harpo Productions says Tyson will take questions from the audience on Friday.

- "This shows how stupid both of these men are. To appear on the totally self-serving Oprah is admitting you have no class, taste, or intelligence."
Holyfield appearing in a dress for a fast food chain would have beena good hint, too.
And what is the thing with the tattoo on Tyson's face? That man is scary - Reply to this comment
- "If I was Holyfield I would give him an earful."
