Martin Rogan (41) Nothern

Ireland

What more can do Evander Holyfield at 49 years old? Can the former cruiserweight and four times heavyweight champion qualified to the second round? Holyfield is a living legend of boxing and without doubts is the most skillful fighter of this group but the age is a silent enemy for him….
On another way undefeated Russian prospect Denis Boystov will have his fire test here, on his last two fights he increased the grade of opposition and he still performed well.
After winning his first 14 fights on a row Derek Chisora had lost four of his last five but all against top rivals. If he is focused on the tournament he can challenge for one spot on the second round.
Donnel Holmes and Chazz Witherspoon are in the same position good records but without great names on his wins and losing when they face harder opposition.
Bahamian warrior Sherman Williams still can give problems to the rest. He is happy of staying on this group becouse he wants a rematch with Holyfield.
Irish Martin Rogan seem to be the weakest point of the group.
