Danny Williams-Francois Botha on November 30, WBF Title

By Mark Vester

Promoter Olaf Schroder has announced a battle between former Mike Tyson opponents, Danny Williams (40-6, 31KOs) and Francois Botha (45-4, 28KOs), for November 30 in Giza, Egypt. The fight is for the WBF heavyweight title and is being marketed as the first boxing event to take place near the great pyramids.

Botha has fought once since 2002, returning to the ring last year in July, winning a decision over  Bob Mirovic. Williams, the BBBofC British heavyweight champ, has been very active since 2002 - fighting 19-times during Botha's retirement run. Williams' last defeat was to Audley Harrison back in December of 2006.
