Although we would like to see Evander Holyfield retire, his upcoming bout with James Toney seems to

have the makings of a very good bout. Both are relatively close in age, Holyfield is 40 while Toney is 35. And

both are very good boxers with power - translated - this means that both fighters like to slug it out when hurt

so we can expect an action packed fight. Toney is the current IBF Cruiserweight Champ and Holyfield is

looking to be undisputed Heavyweight Champion again. 

 

According to a Showtime press release, Evander Holyfield's trainer Don Turner said  “He has looked

phenomenal and is in a great frame of mind. Evander has not been as energetic as he needed to be in his

last few fights, but during his ring work so far, he has been using his imagination to the max. I have never

seen a guy like him in all my years in boxing.’’
