Evander Holyfield Wants a Piece of David Haye 'Right Now'

By Ryan Burton

At Wednesday's final press conference for Evander Holyfield's fight with Francois Botha, BoxingScene.com spoke with the three-time heavyweight champion to get his thoughts on David Haye's recent defense of the WBA heavyweight title against John Ruiz, who Holfyield fought three times.

"Ruiz didn't hold. He fought which made it more exciting but he still lost," Holyfield told BoxingScene.com.

Holyfield would later tell BoxingScene that he wants a crack at Haye's title, and wishes he was fighting Haye this weekend at The Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas

"He has a belt. I want the belts. I wish I could fight him right now," Holyfield said.
