It is a matchup which was supposed to take place in Egypt six years ago only for the Englishman to get knocked out in a tune up bout.

Two guys who were totally washed up long ago....what a ***ing joke. Not even worth putting out to the media. The worse part is someone actually showing up to watch the fight. Anyone who shows up, doesnt have a life.

have Roy be the ref and Evander a judge

Didn't Botha just get TKO'd a couple of days ago?

Danny William's farewell fights have a different meaning than others.
Not "Goodbye folks" but "Bye for now, see you at the next one"

Two Heavyweight "names" = more ticket sales than your average bar fight.

I am sure this is just to make a card that people might watch because the two fighters have fought the likes of Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield, Vitali, etc.

Danny Williams will be introduced as "Mike Tyson Conqueror" while Botha will be named as the guy who's challenged a who's who of the Heavyweight division (Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Wlad, etc)

Sounds like a promoter who is just breaking into the business or one who is scraping the barrel.

both are shot but there is no doubt botha will win this as he is still willing to go into the center of the ring & trade with anyone no matter how out gunned he is. he is a true warrior win or lose. danny never had a good chin & now he has none at all. danny Williams should fight owen beck after botha.

Shannon briggs was suppose to fight on the promoters original card last year but it fell through... they are trying to bring some boxing there & I think both are old recognizable names so that is why they were picked. holyfield could end up fighting there to which would be no surprise...

They must need money badly.

Pot-bellied old Frans Botha and Danny Williams should have retired several years ago.
