    Former undisputed HW champion Evander Holyfield will return for the first time in the ring since his controversial decision loss(aka robbery) to Nikolay Valuev.He takes part in an exhibition fight in Ethiopia on july 26 to help raise money for AIDS victims.The 46 year old will take on Sammy Retta in Addis Ababa.
    ''The two boxers and they're teams will arrive in Addis Ababa on may 17th to conclude a contract and for promotional purposses before the fight on july 26,''promoter Ali Baba said during a press conference.
    Getting Holyfield doesn't come cheap.The bout will cost the event promoters nearly 7 million dollars.They refused to commnet on how much of the money is going to Evander.Retta is a CW with a record of 18-3,17 KOs.
    Interestingly Evander will probably make more for this than for Valuev.

    I wonder why they refused to comment on how much of that $7 million is going to Evander and how much to the AIDS victims:think

    well the man's gotta feed his family. there's no obligation to charity, any amount of money that goes to charity is good.

    This is just a exhibition.Nothing more than that ''bout'' he had with Matt Hardy in the WWE.
    Getting payed for it is just even better.

    Especially when the charity is "Evander's Kids", a nationwide not-for-profit whose sole focus is on increasing the quality of life for all 429 of Evander's known children.
