DETROIT (AP) — Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield plans to step back into the ring in November against journeyman Sherman Williams at Joe Louis Arena.
Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 KOs) will be 48 when fights for the first time since knocking out 41-year-old Frans Botha in the eighth round in April in Las Vegas. The 37-year-old Williams (34-11-2, 19 KOs) is coming off a 10-round decision loss to Manuel Charr in October.
While in Michigan for the announcement, Holyfield will be co-grand marshal at Sunday’s Carfax 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway.
