Crown Boxing has recently announced that its “The Legend Returns†12-round event featuring 5-time world heavyweight champion, Evander Holyfield and current World Boxing Federation heavyweight Champ Frans Botha has been set on April 10th at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
“We’re excited to have Hall of Fame-bound Evander Holyfield fighting Frans Botha on our pay-per-view card. Evander certainly showed he has a lot left in his disputed loss to Valuev. Crown Boxing has been promoting solid shows six times a year in Las Vegas. Fans have come to expect competitive, entertaining fights at affordably priced Crown Boxing shows held in an intimate atmosphere. Like in MMA, every fight counts on a Crown Boxing show. Those are our trademarks and the tradition continues April 10th but on a much larger stage. The only real differences, though, are Holyfield-Botha features a pair of worldwide name recognized fighters and it’s being held in a scaled-down 9,500 seat Thomas & Mack Center. Everybody will have a great seat for an affordable price. We’ve kept ticket prices down so people can afford to watch Holyfield fight, up close and personal, in Las Vegas for the first time in 11 years. What we’re charging viewers is much less than for most pay-per-view shows. We’re putting together strong supporting fights, too, showcasing talented boxers in order to provide fans in attendance or watching on pay per view with a great night of boxing.â€Â said Crown Boxing’s Frank Luca.
The 47-year-old Holyfield has been granted a one-bout license to pursue the WBF title against Botha in Las Vegas next month. Holyfield (42-10-2, 27 Kos) will return to the ring after a controversial 12-round majority decision loss to World Boxing Association champion Nicolai Valuev on December 20th, 2008 in Switzerland. South African boxer Frans Botha (47-4-3, 28 Kos), who won the World Boxing Federation Interim Heavyweight belt in 2007, has successfully defended his title against Ron Guerrero and Timo Hoffman in Germany.
Ticket prices for this event range from $45 to $1000. Tickets for Holyfield vs. Botha are available to purchase at WDIAV Tickets section, for more information, please click here. The event will also be aired in the United States and Canada by Integrated Sports Media for live viewing at 9 PM/ET – 6 PM/PT on both cable and satellite pay-per-view via iN Demand, DIRECTV, Viewer’s Choice and Bell TV.
