Holyfield to Fight in Idaho?

Tuesday March 21, 2006
The Idaho Statesman newspaper is reporting that Evander Holyfield, Roy Jones Jr. and Virgil Hill could all be fighting on a big card this summer in Boise, ID. Other potential sites include Fargo, ND; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Acapulco, Mexico and Ixtapa, Mexico. While this card is still a long way from coming together, possible opponents are already being floated. Local fighter Kenny Keene (50-3) of Emmett, ID could get a shot against the 42-year-old Hill. Holyfield, only 2-5-2 in his last nine bouts, may face Frank Wood of Nashville, TN. Wood is 26-3 with 18 KOs but has fought almost exclusively in Tennessee and Mississippi against extremely limited opposition ... which, sadly, may very well be the category in which the 43-year-old Holyfield must now be classified.
