Is this guy going 2 keep fighting until he dies in the ring?


Soon-to-be-46 Holyfield to fight 300-pounder

Thursday, October 09, 2008

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Evander Holyfield has been offered a fight with WBA heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev in December.

Holyfield, a former heavyweight champ who turns 46 later this month, has not fought since losing an unanimous decision to Sultan Ibragimov, then WBO champion, a year ago.

“Yes, we are in negotiations with Evander Holyfield,” Sauerland Event managing director Chris Meyer said Thursday. “We have made him an offer, but nothing has been signed yet.”

Should the fight happen, it likely will be staged in either Switzerland or Germany, he said.

The 7-foot, 300-pound Valuev (49-1, 34 KOs) won an unanimous decision over John Ruiz in August to regain the WBA title.

A four-time heavyweight champion, Holyfield would become the oldest fighter to win the crown if the fight goes ahead and he defeats Valuev.

He's not gonna stop until he loses that other ear.

wow...I think George Foreman was 45 when he won the title...so its not impossible.
Id love to see Tyson and Holyfield fight again.

That's what happens when you have a dozen kids.


BTW, we can only refer to him as "Evan Fields". That's the name he shipped steroids to his OWN address under. Verrrrry slick Evan.....

I don't follow that closely, but it seems heavyweight boxing has lost it's luster. We're still talking about Tyson & Holyfield. I don't even know who's champ at the moment.

that negro better start endorsing grills, toasters or something and go sit his ass down somewhere.
