Just what boxing needed

Not pictured: sense of shame, remaining shred of dignity

 

47 year-old Evander Holyfield is lacing them up again, to face Francois Botha in Uganda two weeks from now. It's for the WBF Heavyweight Title, which I believe is made from tin foil and duct tape. During his late-career, ahem, 'renaissance', Holyfield has lost to such pugilistic luminaries as lumbering Russian Nikolay Valuev, and slightly-less-lumbering Russian Sultan Ibragimov. There's a lesson here, kids. Having eleven goddamn children is not all that wise.
