Former heavyweight boxing champ Evander Holyfield is broke as a joke, so he's finding any way he can to make some money to pay off his debts and keep current with his child support payments. Holyfield was somehow able to secure a fight with Francois Botha, a 41-year-old boxer who is also considered washed up, for the World Boxing Federation heavyweight championship belt.

"I am very much looking forward to going to Uganda, and I expect a tough fight against Francois Botha," Holyfield told the Associated Press. "I am going to win, and I will cherish the WBF world title."

The fight is set for Jan. 16 in Uganda's Nambole Stadium, and Holyfield believes that if he can pull out a win, he could work his way back to fighting for more "prestigious" belts. At the same time, however, Botha is trying to rebound from his fight against Pedro Carrion in October, which was ruled a draw.

"I have always been my own harshest critic. My performance against Carrion, without making any excuses, was arguably the worst of my career," Botha said. "Expect the fittest, toughest and best ever -- and extremely serious -- Francois Botha in Uganda in January. I owe my fans and members of Team Botha the performance of my life. I intend to make good on that."

There's no word of the purse the fighters will get or where the fight will be broadcast, if it'll be broadcast at all.
