Aged heavyweights Evander Holyfield and Ray Mercer are set to
trade leather again despite being aged 49 and 51 respectively.
Thankfully, though, it'll only be an exhibition bout.
The pair squared off originally back in May 1995 with Holyfield
winning a ten round unanimous decision.
The bout will be a four round affair in South Africa and will
form part of a tribute night to Nelson Mandela in February
2013.
"I am honoured to be part of this celebration of Nelson Mandela
and to be part of history," Mercer said.
"I am beyond motivated for this one, and I can hardly believe it
is happening. I will be representing Find A Dream (a charity based
in South Carolina) and I think it is a great way to give the
organization the international exposure it deserves. It truly is an
awesome feeling."
