The George Foreman-Larry Holmes fight, originally cancelled because of financial problems, has been rescheduled to be held at Houston on March 27th.
The battle was originally planned for next weekend, but it became a hard-sell after Mike Tyson scheduled his return for tonight. But with Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis unifying the heavyweight crown on March 13th, Tyson's next fight not planned before April 24th and Oscar de la Hoya boxing next month, the date should bring maximum income.
Foreman, who was 50 last Sunday, never faced Holmes, 49, when both were in their prime. Foreman reigned as world champion but retired before Holmes ascended to take the title.
