Evander Holyfield still refusing to retire, trying to convince WBC into getting him a Vitali Klitschko fight

Boxing's only four-time heavyweight champion, Evander Holyfield (43-10-2, 28KOs), will make his ring return on November 5 against Sherman Williams (34-11-2, 19KOs). Holyfield turns 48 on October 19. Holyfield returns from a April knockout victory over former champion Francois Botha. Williams, 37, won nine of his last ten fights. Holyfield plans to target a title fight with WBC champion Vitali Klitschko.

"Sherman Williams is 5-foot-11, 260, and he's a pretty good fighter and it will be a tough little fight for Evander," said Holyfield's manager, Ken Sanders. "We haven't got all of the paperwork signed yet, but they're going to close out the arena this weekend, and we're going to work on the under card next week."

"Hopefully, after this fight, either in January, February or the first part of the year, we should be in a position to fight Vitali Klitschko. Hopefully, it will be Vitali. I've already talked to [WBC director] Jose Sulaiman, and he's already said that he would approve [Holyfield] to fight. We'd like to win the WBC belt first."

Sherman Williams the painter?

hahahaha

wow Evander has a death wish

just think if he pulled it off

R.I.P Real Deal!

I would love for him to do it

Just don't let him get in with Wlad. If Holyfield was still on his feet and Wlad landed some right hands, it might kill him.

Vitali will give Evander severe brain damage, and Evander is already slurring pretty badly.

if this gets sanctioned somewhere in the states i will boycott that body forever

Vitali or Haye could do some major damage (Holyfield is already in bad enough shape). Wlad might literally kill him the ring.

hopefuly this doesnt even get discussed

the wbc says why not.unbelieveable..when you think the wbc has sunk a low as it gets they find ways to dig deeper..the other guys 5 -11 and 260 lbs..great shape huh..holyfield has lost his marbles..sorry guys i hope this fat nobody does him in..maybe then he will wake up and say its over....

Crazy how he gets suspended by the NYSAC years ago and other commissions still allow him to fight.....

Wladimir would still act like a petrified kitten against an ancient Holyfield.

Holy did beat Valuev LOL

Holyfield will keep fighting until he can't get licensed in any country. He's had alot of financial difficulties (which is laughable considering how much money he made).


Its really sad when a best case scenario is he'll have dementia by his later 50s, rather than eventually getting killed in the ring.

he has a shot in his next fight but being a big fan of evander please stay far far away from either of the klit bros. Its one thing to go out like a chump but its another to die in the ring at an old age against someone you should not be fighting at this day and age. Any how WAR EVANDER.
