Fight postponed

KAMPALA, Uganda — Evander Holyfield's return to the ring against Francois Botha has been postponed to late February to give the fighters more time to prepare.

Pro Box Promotions manager Eddie Bazira said Monday that the fight will be held Feb. 20 in Uganda instead of the originally scheduled Jan. 16 date.

Organizers predict a crowd of about 80,000 at Kampala's Nambole Stadium.
