Tonight?s title fight between World Boxing Federation Heavyweight Champion Evander ?The Real Deal? Holyfield and challenger Sherman ?Tank? Williams abruptly ended after three rounds due to a cut over Holyfield?s left eye that happened in the second round suffered in the second round. Holyfield was unable to continue after three and the fight was declared a no contest because the cut was caused by an accidental head butt and the fight didn?t go four rounds. ?I?m cut,? Holyfield said after the fight. ?He head-butted me. He came down on me with his head. I don?t know about my next fight (March 5 vs. Brian Nielson in Denmark). I?m cut, I?m cut. I?ll give Sherman a rematch.? ?I?m back,? said Williams who staggered Holyfield at the end of the third round with an overhand right. ?This fight was circus: on again, off again.
