CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Sherman “Tank” Williams (34-11-2, 19 KOs) will step into the ring with Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield on January 22 at the historic Greebrier Resort in White Sulphur

Springs, W.Va.

“My experience boxing Vladamir Klitschko for weeks on end has prepared me to fight the best in the world. While I respect Evander’s experience in the ring, having beat Mike Tyson, Larry

Holmes and Buster Douglas, I’m in the best shape of my career and I’m going to make it a very long night for Holyfield on Jan. 22.”

Williams, a sparring partner in the Klitschko camps for two years, will battle for Holyfield’s World Boxing Federation heavyweight title

Heart," which chronicles the life of the late singer, Lazes said.
