By Dan Ambrose: 48-year-old Evander Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 KO’s) stubbornly refuses to give up on his dream of capturing all the heavyweight titles before finally retiring from the sport. However, soon enough the decision may be taken out of his hands as he continues to age and finds it harder and harder to find opponents he can still beat. Holyfield is still good enough right now to beat B level fighters like his opponent for Saturday night, 38-year-old Sherman Williams (34-11-2, 19 KO’s).

Holyfield reasons that the Klitschkos don’t want to fight him because he’s too dangerous
By Jim Dower: Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 KO’s) has a fight against Sherman “Tank” Williams (34-11-2, 19 KO’s) on Saturday that the 48-year-old Holyfield hopes will lead him to an eventual fight with the Klitschko brothers. However, Holyfield says he understands why the Klitschko brothers have been reluctant to fight him all these years, reasoning that due to his age and talent, it’s a fight in which the Klitschko brothers would have nothing to gain from facing him and are better off facing softer opponents.

This isn’t a fight that will be shown on HBO or Showtime, as Holyfield is far removed from fighting on those networks nowadays as his boxing skills have badly declined.
Holyfield-Williams: Should Evander get a title shot against Haye or one of the Klitschko brothers if he wins?
By Dave Lahr: Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 KO’s) is stubbornly committed to fighting for and trying to capture all the heavyweight titles before he retires from boxing. Holyfield is now 48, and his skills have badly eroded to the point where he doesn’t look anything like he once did. On Saturday, Holyfield is facing 38-year-old Sherman Williams in a pay-per-view card at the The Greenbrier, in White Shulphur Springs, in West Virginia. Holyfield should win this fight without any problem, but that’s not the point.
Holyfield vs. Williams on Saturday
By Dan Ambrose: 48-year-old Evander Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 KO’s) will continue his fading career on Saturday night against 38-year-old journeyman Sherman Williams (34-11-2, 19 KO’s) in a 10 round pay-per-view bout at The Greenbrier, White Sulphur, in West Virginia. This is a fight that Holyfield is taking to knock some of the rust off while he hopes to have one of the heavyweight champions hand pick him for yet another title shot. Hoyfield says he wants to fight the the heavyweight champion Klitschko brothers and WBA heavyweight champion David Haye before retiring. Holyfield’s chances of getting a fight even against one of those fighters is pretty much slim and none.
48-year-old Holyfield says his goal is still to be undisputed heavyweight champion
By Jim Dower: 48-year-old former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 KO’s) has a fight coming up on January 22nd against Sherman Williams (34-11-2, 19 KO’s) in a 10 round bout at The Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Holyfield is no longer ranked in the top tier among the world’s best heavyweights, which is why it seems all the more strange that Holyfield is still talking about his goal being to capture and unify all the major world heavyweight titles.

Holyfield impressed with Haye, thinks he can beat the Klitschko brothers
By William Mackay: Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 KO’s) really likes what he sees of WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-1, 23 KO’s) and thinks that he can be a big star in the heavyweight division and also beat both of the Klitschko brothers. Holyfield, a small heavyweight like Haye, thinks the British heavyweight has the skills needed to beat the Klitschko brothers.
Holyfield vs. Williams on January 22nd for $29.95 on PPV
By Jason Kim: Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 KO’s) will return to action on January 22nd against 38-year-old Sherman Williams (34-11-2, 19 KO’s) in a scheduled 10 round bout at The Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.

48-year-old Holyfield faces 45-year-old Brian Nielsen on March 5th
By Eric Thomas: Former two division world champion Evander Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 KO’s) will be back in action on March 5th to take on 45-year-old Danish heavyweight Brian Nielsen (64-2, 43 KO’s) on March 5th in a still to be determined location in Denmark. Nielsen hasn’t fought in eight years, and that alone makes this fight somewhat of a farce. It’s obviously just a money fight for Holyfield, but it’s more than a little disappointing if you were hoping that Holyfield was going to take on a top level fighter so that he could move forward with his goal of trying to capture all the heavyweight titles before retiring.
