Former heavyweight champion, Evander Holyfield\'s scheduled fight against Francois Botha in Uganda has been called off.
Holyfield\'s Manager, Ken Sanders, said that promoters didn\'t provide a promised pre-fight payment for the February 20 fight.
The bout is now expected to be on March 6, possibly in Miami.
Sanders said the 47-year-old Holyfield will also face New York\'s Derric Rossy on April 24 in Las Vegas.
Holyfield has lost five of his last nine bouts, and has not fought since losing a point’s decision to Nikolai Valuev a year ago.
