Forget Pacquiao/Mayweather; Evander Holyfield is set to fight again, against similarly washed-up Francois Botha. If this doesn't give the WBF belt legitimacy, nothing will. [AP] More »

In memory of what once was Derrick Roland's intact leg, the Daily News presents us with a slideshow of Sports' Most Gruesome Injuries. (The final slide is captioned: "A shot of Evander, minus ear.") Fun for the whole family! [NYDN] More »

Oprah gave Mike Tyson a chance to apologize to Evander Holyfield for real today. Tyson passed. He does more dancing in these 30 seconds than he did in his entire career. What a champion! [Oprah] More »

Holyfield wants to convert his mansion to a solar energy farm, and sell the power. I'm sure this has nothing to do with his financial troubles, and everything to do with genuine care for the environment. [AJC] More »

Tonight Evander Holyfield steps back in the ring. The 46 year-old claims to fight on because it is the will of God, but everyone paying attention knows that it's primarily the will of his creditors. More »

... Anybody Want A Peanut? Of course Andre the Giant comes to mind when we find out that Evander Holyfield, age 46, has an agreement to fight 7-foot-2 Russian WBA heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev, on December 20th in Zurich, Switzerland. But I draw more of a comparison to Hulk Hogan in Rocky III. "To all my love slaves out there: Thunderlips is here. In the flesh, baby. The ultimate male versus the ultimate meatball! Ha ha ha." There goes Holyfield over the turnbuckle! More »

• Searching For John McCain. The Big Lead has a pretty funny account of how Dan Lamothe of Red Sox Monster tried to score an interview with John McCain. It's a roller coaster of emotion, as McCain's camp agrees, then ignores, then agrees and ignores again requests to have their candidate chat with Lamothe on sports issues of the day. Conclusion: "After more than 10 weeks, I’m throwing in the towel publicly on attempting to get 15 minutes of the presidential candidate’s time — something I am well aware is no easy task."

So Evander Holyfield is broke. His $10 million house (featuring 17 bathrooms and a bowling alley) is in foreclosure, he's behind in child support payments, and things are generally looking bleak. And people, it's your fault. You just aren't buying enough Real Deal Grills! Why not? Dual temperature controls, 1800 watts of power, adjustable floating hinges so you can cook on two sides at once ... it's like having an entire restaurant in your house! I have no idea how a man with his own grill could be so in arrears. I'll never understand boxing. More »

The Shocker Before Matlock! The Scuffle During Shuffleboard! The Rumble For The Hoverround! Two Guys On The Beach Fighting Instead Of Wandering Around With Metal Detectors! None of these are catchy names, so a third fight between Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson probably won't happen. More »

Evander Holyfield, a man who has been punched in the face so many times that you have to wonder if he's come full circle and now can calculate pi, is fighting some guy named Sultan for the heavyweight championship in Moscow this weekend. If he wins, he'll be set to fight Wladimir Klitschko for a unification bout. And that could be a problem. More »

As you have probably noted in your personal journal, a little while back we called for someone, anyone, to give Evander Holyfield a grill endorsement. Well, someone was listening. Introducing the Evander Holyfield Real Deal Grill, which hit stores last week, and is meant as a direct competitor to George Foreman's Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine. Holyfield vs. Foreman II is on! Who'll bring the potato salad? More »

You knew, somehow, if Evander Holyfield just hung around long enough, waiting for someone to need a big name to highlight some sort of grueling pay-per-view spectacle, someone would give the 44-year-old former heart patient the opportunity to fight for another championship. (Or die trying. Seriously. He might die.) More »

Holyfield's opponent last night, 41-year-old Lou Savarese, is described here as "durable." Normally a fine adjective, but when applied to a boxer, "durable" sort of means "gets punched in the head a lot." And that's what Evander Holyfield, 3 years older than Savarese, did to him last night. More »

How much would you pay for a 1997 Bentley that's currently owned by Evander Holyfield? OK, let's sweeten the pot a little. Not only does a "portion" of the proceeds go to The Holyfield Foundation — which is out to, uh, help poor kids or something — but you also will able to personally have Evander hand you the keys.

Bad news for Evander Holyfield. He won last night, which means his comeback is going to continue. After beating the hell out of Jeremy Bates last night, Holyfield says he wants a Top 10 fighter next. More »

Slow, public meltdowns are no fun to watch, not even for the notoriously nasty and morbid voyeurs of the Internets. Which is why we await tonight's Evander Holyfield fight with a sense approaching dread. The fight, in Dallas and broadcast live on Fox Sports Net, pits the 43-year-old former champ (and Dancer With The Stars) against Jeremy Bates, a guy who was coaxed out of retirement himself. He had been working as an insurance salesman in Parkersburg, W. Va., after he quit the boxing game with a career record of 21-11-2. So it's a high-quality fight. More »

As you might have heard, Evander Holyfield — 43 years old, loser of his last three fights, in danger of, you know, dying in the ring — will return to fight Jeremy Bates in Dallas on August 18. The fight is billed as "the beginning of his quest to win his fifth heavyweight title," though when you're 43 years old and a boxer, you're not really beginning anything. (Particularly when you're fighting a guy with a 21-11-1. Not to imply that Holyfield's high-drawing days might be over, but the fight will be broadcast live not on pay-per-view, but live on "The Best Damn Sports Show." Really. More »

If you were thinking that "Dancing With The Stars" hoofer Evander Holyfield was actually retiring, like, seriously this time, well, you're wrong again. Holyfield, who is 43 years old, has said as soon as he gets out of his contract with Don King, he will continue his quixotic attempt to regain his championship crown. His contention with King is that he can't guarantee a purse of $500,000, a relatively piddly number that we think Tonya Harding might have gotten for her last fight. More »
