Evander Holyfield has signed a contract to fight Francois Botha on January 16, 2010. Holyfield will take on the South African Botha at Nelson Mandela Stadium in Kampala, Uganda. Promoters expect a sellout crowd of 80,000 people.

Holyfield last fought in December of 2008, a majority decision loss to Nikolai Valuev. Botha has fought three times this year, going 2-0-1, but was inactive from 2002 to 2007. Botha is 41 years old while Holyfield is 47. Not a typo. Evander Holyfield is 47 years old.
