Ahead of their WBF heavyweight title clash this Saturday at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, NV, Francois Botha and Evander Holyfield worked out for the media.
Native South African Botha, 47-4-3 (28), is the reigning WBF champion and has only come up short against Wladimir Klitschko, Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson and Michael Moorer.
Former heavyweight and cruiserweight world champion Holyfield, 42-10-2 (27), narrowly missed dethroning WBA titlist Nickolai Valuev in December and has vowed to defeat Botha on the way to one more crack at world honors.
