Holyfield to fight Savarese in El Paso

It has been confirmed by sources within both camps that former world cruiserweight and multiple world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield will seek the fourth straight win of his current comeback against Lou Savarese. The bout between Holyfield, 41-8-2, and Savarese, 46-6, will take place in El Paso, Texas, on June 30, 2007.  The bout was originally going to take place in Calgary, Canada but was moved due to the lack of sponsorships.  Holyfield sat out 2005 but returned in 2006 and has scored three straight wins, all of them in Texas. Both fighters will train in Houston for this bout.
