Sherman Williams plans to give Evander Holyfield a beating

PhilBoxing.com




?Redemption In America? PPV show headliner in West Virginia

CHARLOTTE, NC (December 30, 2010) ? Battle-tested Sherman ?Tank? Williams plans to give living legend Evander ?The Real Deal? Holyfield a beating January 22 when they headline ?Redemption In America: The Journey Begins Now? Pay-Per-View Event, live from America?s resort, The Greenbrier?s Colonial Hall, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.

Williams (34-11-2, 19 KOs), who is at training camp in Ft. Lauderdale (FL) with his head trainer, John David Jackson, feels disrespected by Holyfield (43-10-2, 218 KOs) heading into their 12-round main event for Holyfield?s World Boxing Federation title.

?I?m motivated to whip Holyfield and he has a well deserved proper beating coming,? Williams said. ?January 22nd is going to be great with me beating Holyfield and taking the WBF title.?

?Redemption In American,? presented by ARK Promotions in association with The Greenbrier, will be distributed in North American by Integrated Sports Media for live viewing at 9 PM/ET 6 PM/PT on both cable and satellite pay per view via iN Demand, DIRECTV, Avail-TVN and DISH Network in the United States, as well as Viewer?s Choice and Shaw PPV in Canada, for a suggested retail price of only $29.95.

?Redemption? will fuse world class boxing and entertainment; showcasing a production that includes high-energy music presented by Broadway performers, along with dancers and aerial artists. Competitive supporting fights, soon to be announced, will set the stage for the main event featuring Holyfield on his journey to become the first heavyweight champion to regain the coveted world title four different times.

Williams, a native of Freeport, Bahamas, has defeated former world champion Al ?Ice? Cole, fought multiple world title challenger Jameel McCline to a draw, and extended former world heavyweight titlist Ruslan Chagaev the full distance in their 2005 fight.

?Tank? realizes that an opportunity be beat a future Hall of Famer like Holyfield can pump life back into his career. I?m excited about this fight, not just because I?m fighting Holyfield, but what beating him impressively, or knocking him out, can do for me. It can better position me for a fight against Vitaly Klitschko or David Haye. They?ve been fighting hand-picked looney tunes. Even though I?m a Bahamian, I?ve lived here (Vero Beach, FL) a long time and I represent the United States, Western Hemisphere and the Great Atlantic. I want to bring one of their title belts back to this side of the Atlantic.

?Just because he?s a few years older, Holyfield still is the same into the ring. Age is wisdom. His age means nothing to me. I plan on going to war with him. Styles make fights and I?ve been overlooked in the past because of my style. Some don?t like my pressure. I?m expecting to fight the greatest Holyfield, which will bring out the best in me.?

Packages include event tickets, hotel accommodations plus tickets to the Greenbrier Classic PGA Golf Tournament in July and tickets to two concerts starring Tim McGraw and Keith Urban. Ticket/hotel packages can be purchased at www.greenbrier.com or by calling 1.800.453.4858. Deadline to book reservations is Jan. 21.
