    Former two division world champion Evander Holyfield (44-10-2, 29 KO’s) will be turning 50 in October of this year and has fought only three times since 2008 against 2nd tier opposition, yet Holyfield stubbornly refuses to retire from boxing and plans on sticking it out until he’s captured all the heavyweight world titles.

    Holyfield reportedly still wants to fight both of the Klitschko brothers and thinks he can beat both of them to win their titles. Holyfield’s chances of getting fights with either of the Klitschkos are zero, and even if he were to get lucky and get one of them to fight him, Holyfield would lose badly. Last year in January, Holyfield appeared to be on his way to a knockout loss to Sherman Williams after being staggered twice by him in the 3rd round.
