Organizers for Evander Holyfield's inaugural fight in China reached
an agreement on Saturday, allowing what will be a widely watched
professional fight to be staged in the world's most populous nation.
The Great Wall International Sports Media Co Ltd, the company that
arranged the Guangzhou fight for Laila Ali, daughter of the legendary
Muhammed Ali, and Kristina King last April, signed a contract with
Holyfield's promoter Don King in the US to bring the famous boxer
to China in June.
Holyfield's opponent and the location for the historic match are
yet to be decided upon. If it comes off, it will be the first men's
professional boxing match in China in the 50 years since the founding
of the People's Republic.
