On April 16, 2021, it was announced that Holyfield would return to the ring on June 5, 2021, to face [[Kevin McBride]] (most widely known for defeating former undisputed heavyweight champion [[Mike Tyson]]) in an exhibition bout on the undercard of [[Teófimo López vs. George Kambosos Jr.]]<ref>{{cite web|last=Holland|first=Jesse|date=2021-04-16|title=Evander Holyfield vs Kevin McBride boxing match official for Triller PPV on June 5|url=https://www.mmamania.com/2021/4/16/22387823/evander-holyfield-vs-kevin-mcbride-boxing-match-official-triller-ppv-june-5|access-date=2021-05-03|website=MMAmania.com|language=en}}</ref> However, after the López vs. Kambosos card was postponed multiple times, the fight against McBride ultimately did not materialize, leading Holyfield to file a demand for [[arbitration]] against [[Triller (app)|Triller]].<ref>{{cite web|date=2021-09-02|title=Holyfield files arbitration demand against Triller; McBride also disgusted|url=https://www.worldboxingnews.net/2021/09/02/evander-holyfield-triller-arbitration/|access-date=2021-09-09|website=World Boxing News|language=en}}</ref>
