Beijing brawl Holyfield-Ruiz set for Aug. 5; Rahman on undercard Click here for more on this story Posted: Monday May 14, 2001 3:54 PM Updated: Monday May 14, 2001 4:09 PM NEW YORK (AP) -- Evander Holyfield and WBA heavyweight champion John Ruiz will fight in Beijing on Aug. 5 -- their third bout in a year. The bout, the first world heavyweight title fight in China, was announced Monday by promoter Don King. On the same card, WBC and IBF heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman will fight Brian Nielsen of Denmark. If Rahman wins, he will take on the winner of the Ruiz-Holyfied fight in a unification bout. King, Holyfield and Ruiz will leave for China on Tuesday to visit the fight venue in Beijing and tour the country. Holyfield beat Ruiz in a decision in August. Ruiz then took the title by unanimous decision March 3. King originally planned to have the fight in China on June 30, but delayed the bout after Holyfield lost to Ruiz. Holyfield regards the bout as a step in his effort to gain the undisputed heavyweight title. "There's a lot of opportunities for everybody," he said Monday. "John Ruiz is not the favorite. Rahman is not the favorite. They never considered me the favorite. So it's wide open for a new undisputed heavyweight champion of the world." Hasim Rahman knocked out Lennox Lewis in fifth round in South Africa on April 21 to win WBC and IBF heavyweight titles. Holyfield, Ruiz and Rahman sat ringside Saturday night at Madison Square Garden for Felix Trinidad's fifth-round victory over William Joppy for the WBA middleweight title.
