Former heavyweight world champion Evander Holyfield will fight Sherman "Tank" Williams next month as a tune-up for his March bout in Copenhagen against Dane Brian Nielsen.

Holyfield, who turned 48 last month, is trying to become the oldest man to capture a major heavyweight crown, surpassing the mark set by George Foreman when he stopped Michael Moorer for the title in 1994 at age 45.

Four-time champ Holyfield is set to fight Brian Nielsen (45) on March 5 in Denmark.
