Holyfield preparing to face Savarese

Press Release: Former world cruiserweight and heavyweight world champion had this to say about his next opponent, Lou Savarese:  “I usually don’t like fighting guys with Lou’s style.  I like guys who are aggressive.  But the champions now pretty much fight the way Lou fights so that’s why I chose him.” About continuing his quest for a fight world heavyweight championship, Holyfield said, “I work harder at the gym than the young guys.  If I didn’t believe I could do it, I wouldn’t try.  It’s just like my momma told me when I was young.  You have to know how to finish.  You may not have control over where you start, but you can control how you finish.  I want to win the undisputed heavyweight championship and then let the young guys take over. I’m about 210 lbs right now.  I usually walk around at 215, but every time I come to Texas I sweat so much that I lose around 7 lbs after workouts.”
