Evander Holyfield Vs Brian Nielsen. The World Boxing Federation, after consideration of all arguments, decided against sanctioning the proposed second title defence of its world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield against Brian Nielsen. The main reason is that 46-year-old Nielsen has been out of the ring for almost a decade, thus does not qualify to contest a WBF world title. Live Boxing TV! | Live MMA TV! |
The official weigh-in was held on Friday night in Denmark, with Holyfield at 225 pounds, while his opponent Nielsen, with his shorts on, weighed 238 pounds. It is to be noted that Nielsen had never been this light in his career. Neilson had said that although it would be mighty difficult for him to beat Holyfield, he promised it would not be one sided affair. Holyfield said that if he won he wwould move to next level and challenge for major titles.
Holyfield started the fight aggressively, pressing the 46-year-old Nielsen into the ropes and landing several hard jabs and hooks, knocking him down in the 3rd round. Despite getting a swollen eye in the 4th round, Nielsen kept on clowning to provoke Holyfield throughout the bout, prompting his trainer, Paul Duvill, to beg him to stop fooling around and focus on Holyfield. In round 10 Nielsen pushed a tired-looking Holyfield into the ropes with a series of combinations, before Holyfield turned it around. Holyfield pushed Nielsen into a corner and battered him with combinations until the referee stopped the contest.
It was a tough fight – he kept coming back, Holyfield said. He fought a very courageous fight. **
