Evander Holyfield and Ethiopian Sammy Retta boxing match in Addis Ababa in Hamle (July)

I thought the Sami dude was a fake boxer. I remember hearing that he was not listed in the boxer list. I heard Sami insulted Holyfield the former 4 times heavyweight champion of the world who is widely known for losing his ear to Mike Tyson years ago . About 7 million US dollars is estimated to be spent for organizing this event. I think many people are talking about this lately. Here is the video to confirm it.

I just read that this fight

I just read that this fight is organized to help raise funds for AIDS victims so the Sami insult talk must be fake. Holyfield is 46 but can beat Sami unless there is some kind of fixing on our part Laughing I am not losing faith on Sami but Sami is not that good compared to Holy. Perhaps if we get lucky the age factor will help.

Interesting! I didn't even

Interesting! I didn't even know we had a boxer capable of fighting Holyfield. 7 million USD is a hell of a lot though, i doubt they'll raise an exceeding number from the match. They could have just donated that instead but i guess it's fun this way. Can't wait to see who'll get their behinds kicked Laughing out loud

I used to think that I was

Laughing out loud I used to think that I was the only one who didn't like the dude. U remember the Tilahun's "Ethiopia" song he played before fighting some nobody and he was wearing the Ethiopian flag. The whole thing was full of drama and pretense.
