Holyfield targets world title fight in September

ADDIS ABABA: Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield will take another crack at the world title in September, his manager said here on Tuesday.

"The September bout could either be against Nikolai Valuev or some other fighter, but it definitely will be against a world champion," Ken Sanders told AFP.

Holyfield is in Addis Ababa to prepare for a July 26 exhibition fight against Ethiopian-born American Sammy Retta to help raise funds for AIDS in what will be the Horn of Africa nation's first ever showpiece boxing bout.
