It has been reported by reliable sources that the much anticipated match between the 2 old bags of bones, Evander Holyfield and Francois Botha, is now off. Reportedly Holyfield pulled out of the bout citing "money issues" with the contract. Botha is now said to fight on Feb. 27th at the same venue in Uganda. This fight was not going to be a blockbuster, and was dangerous for a man at Holyfield's age, but I was still interested to see how it turned out. When confirmation is 100% it will be reported.
Update:
The "Battle for the Room Closer to the Bathroom in the Retirement Home" is not lost according to ESPN. They are now planning to move the fight to the good old USofA...great. So instead of a packed 80,000 seat stadium in Uganda they will probably fight at Dover Downs or the Mohegan Sun. Here is a link to the article because I am sick of writing about this fight...AARP.
