COPENHAGEN, Denmark — At the age of 48, Evander Holyfield won’t give up on his hopes of regaining the world heavyweight title.

The former undisputed champion resumes his longshot quest Saturday when he takes on Denmark’s 46-year-old Brian Nielsen in a non-title bout in the Danish capital.

“My goal is to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world ... again,” Holyfield (43-10-2) said.

In his last ring appearance, Holyfield was cut above the left eye by an accidental head butt in his fight with Sherman Williams in January. The bout was ruled a no-contest.

This time, trainer Tommy Brooks predicts Holyfield will beat Nielsen in two rounds.

“I think Evander is in a much better shape than (Nielsen) is in and we’re going to take advantage of that,” Brooks said. “The first mistake he makes, we’re going to capitalize on that.”

Holyfield, who held the world title four times, remained more cautious.

“I am going out to give my very best,” he said. “I’ll take one round at the time. Anything is possible.”

However, he added, “if you hit people with a clean shot, people will fall.”

The bout at the 2,100-seat Copenhagen Concert Hall was initially set for March 5 but was postponed to give Holyfield more time to recover from an injury.

“I have no problems at all. I have a scar that is all. I don’t feel any pain,” Holyfield told The Associated Press.

Nielsen (64-2, 43 KOs) is a highly popular figure in Denmark, where he is affectionately known as “Super Brian.”
