NEW YORK, MARCH 22: Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis have agreed on terms to fight again for the undisputed heavyweight championship. Now promoter Don King must find a date and a site willing to pay millions for a tarnished rematch.
King said both fighters want the bout in September, and that both would be guaranteed 15 million dollars for the rematch. Possible sites include New York, Las Vegas, London and South Africa.
The fight is far from a done deal, however. Among the issues remaining are terms of a pay-per-view deal with HBO.
, and whether the network and promoters for Lewis will agree to a fight in which King retains a major role.
Additionally, HBO has already reserved a September pay-per-view date for its other star fighter, Oscar de la Hoya.
