Holyfield will be fighting an exhibition match against Ethiopian-born Sammy Retta in Addis Ababa on July 25th for an AIDS fundraiser. Retta's an 18-3 cruiser. Won't go on Holy's record but will be for a good cause.
Hopefully he beats the **** out of him.All for charity off course. And his manager said he would get a title shot in september with the winner of Valuev vs Chagaev II but since that didn't happen I don't know what to say.
As long as he stays away from Ivan Drago, I'm cool. (Those exhibitions can be a *****! for older former champions)
he should go for a valuev rematch soon as he's one of the only guys valuev might actually not ***** away from fighting....actually Valuev might be afraid of him now too considering the fact that holyfield beat him last time (the judges were blind)
Holyfield's doing something good for society with this fight, he's also staying active. But by the looks of this fight, some good HW sparring will pay off more than this.
