Apollo Creed vs. Ivan Drago...20 Years Later

Evander Holyfield must be a glutton for punishment (&/or broke). The 45 year old former heavyweight champ has agreed to fight current title holder Nikolai Valuev towards the end of this year (tentative date: December 20th). For those of you unfamiliar with Valuev, he is a 7 foot, 320 pound behemoth who has lost only once in 50 fights.

After the bout, Holyfield plans to write a book about the experience called, "Mrm&#oifdsep". Well, I am not sure "write" is the correct term since it will consist of random symbols and lines. Seriously, Evander, its time to hang up the gloves. You won your first heavyweight title by defeating Buster Douglas (yeah, that guy), who retired from boxing nearly 20 years ago. Follow his lead, or look forward to a life filled with slurred speech, blank stares, and drool stains on your bathrobe. For more on the upcoming match, click here....

*Note: no book is being written by Holyfield (as far as I know)
