Holyfield vs Williams is Pushed Back To November 12th

By Lem Satterfield

The near 48-year-old four-time heavyweight champion, Evander Holyfield, will face 38-year-old Sherman Williams at the Joe Louis Arena on Nov. 12 in Detroit. The fight was previously scheduled for November 5. Holyfield's manager, Ken Sanders, said that the fight had to be moved to gain a potential advantage in working out a television deal.

"We've got a guy named Dwayne Corbitt who is handling it and he is the marketing guy who brought us the deal for the fight. It was originally supposed to be Nov. 5, and a couple of days ago, they said, 'look, we're going to do this on Fox Television.' So we're going to do it on Nov. 12," said Sanders of Holyfield's business partner, Dwayne Corbitt.
