Even though the WBFed has become a sound commodity these days, the saying “it’s the match that makes the fight” is more than appropriate for the forthcoming world heavyweight championship clash between Evander Holyfield and Sherman Williams on November 5.
The aging Holyfield, now well past his Silver Jubilee in professional boxing (since his unlucky bronze medal in the LA Olympic Games of 1984), is still living up to his nickname “The Real Deal” by setting standards inside the squared circle.
The site of this memorable encounter, the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, is not without significance, as the “Brown Bomber” ranks among the very best of those who conquered the “Richest Prize in Sports”.
Evander Holyfield, one of the most remarkable men ever to have donned gloves, is still surprising his followers as well as his critics in his everlasting pursuit of his ultimate dream. It remains to be seen how “cooperative” Sherman “Tank” Williams will be when the “shake hands and come out fightin'” has been heard.
