45-year-old Holyfield on verge of title fight

(via ESPN) · October 9, 2008 · 7 AM

Evander Holyfield told ESPN.com he has accepted an offer to fight Nikolai Valuev for his heavyweight world title in a bout that would take place Dec. 20 in either Germany or Switzerland.

"It's solid. They asked if I will take the fight for the offer they made and if everything is straight up, I will take that fight," said Holyfield, who if he wins would become the oldest heavyweight champ in history.
