Hollyfield-Douglas and Bowe-Hollyfield both took place on a Thursday.

I'm sure Bowe-Holyfield I was on a Friday. It was Friday the 13th.

Some of the fights around then took place during the week. The Tyson-Ruddock fights, Holyfield-Foreman, I think they took place during the middle of the week.

Nowadays in the states, all the big fights are on Saturdays.

You are correct, it was a Friday.

The last big fight I remember during the week was Chavez-De La Hoya I, that was on a Friday.
