evander holyfield hat HOLYFIELD TO FIGHT IN AFRICAFormer world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield will fight an exhibition match in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on July 25 against Sammy Retta, an Ethiopian-born American who moved from Addis to Washington D.C. when he was 16.

“I continue to strive to be the very best and I look forward to bringing it all to Ethiopia,” Holyfield told reporters according to Africa News.

“I feel so tremendous,” said Retta (18-3) at a recent news conference. “Fighting Evander is like Ali fighting in Africa.”

In addition to tickets to the main event, each package will include a three-night stay in Addis Ababa, meals, a tour of downtown Addis and round-trip airfare on Ethiopian Airlines.
