Has anybody heard anything about what Evander Holyfield is planning to do next? Holyfield has just released a loads of "5 times Champion" merchandise on his new web-site.
To be honest, I was concerned about his health and so on when he entered the ring with Valuev last December - but he was very, very unlucky and did manage to prove a lot of people wrong. Of course, losing a majority decision to Valuev doesn't mean you're set for the world title: but showed he can still compete.
Where next for him though? I've read plenty of rumours. There were stories of another bout with Tyson or Bowe. A statement from Holyfield himself on his official forum alleges that he is in discussions with Vitali Klitschko for the WBC Heavyweight belt which I find unbelievable. Another journalist has told me to expect to see him fighting in Africa in September for a minor, minor version of the title.
