Holyfield Future Unsure

Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield’s comeback effort could hinge on the action today of Nevada boxing authorities.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission will vote on whether to relicense Holyfield, who has been under medical suspension in the state since losing his heavyweight titles to Michael Moorer last April in Las Vegas.

A medical advisory commission has already recommended Holyfield be relicensed, but the only doctor on the athletic commission is leaning against the former champion.

Holyfield reportedly plans to resume his career with a May 22 bout in Atlantic City, N.J., against Ray Mercer.
