HOLYFIELD 44YRS OLD AND STILL SWINGING
44-year-old Evander Holyfield doesn`t care what people say. He remains determined to be boxing`s undisputed heavyweight champion.
``No man can tell me to stop what I`m doing,`` Holyfield said. ``God can. He`s the only one.``
The former champion`s chase for another title continues Friday night when he meets Fres Oquendo in a scheduled 10-round bout at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
Holyfield, who began his comeback in August with a fight in Dallas - a second-round technical knockout of West Virginia insurance salesman Jeremy Bates - dismisses critics who say he`s too old, too slow and taken too many punches to be back in a title pursuit.
``I promised myself that I would become undisputed heavyweight champion. And I`m 44 years old, but I haven`t reached that goal,`` Holyfield said. ``That`s why I`m here. I set the goal and I`m sticking to it. That seems to bother a lot of other people. It doesn`t bother me.``
I GOT MY MONEY ON DA' "INSUWANCE MAN!"
