Holyfield ready for next fight!

November 12, 2006

Four-time heavyweight champion heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, who defeated Fres Oquendo in San Antonio on Friday night, is already talking about his next fight.

"After the fight, after working so hard on the whole promotion for six weeks, the grueling training regimen and then going 12 hard rounds, I told Evander he should at least take a week off. So I surprised when Evander phoned me this afternoon and said he was ready to go back to work. He does not want time for rest and recreation. I listen to him not only as a boxing legend but as my business partner and co-promoter," Murad Muhammad of M& M Sports said. "But Evander said. 'Let's move on the next task.' That is how deeply focused this great athlete is on his quest to make history as the first five-time heavyweight champion. " (Holyfield's company is called Real Deal Events.)
