Holyfield vs. Foreman Rematch -- With a Grill!

by Evan Shamoon on October 2, 2007 at 09:10 AM



Not content with simply stealing his heavyweight boxing title, Evander Holyfield is now looking to top his former boxing rival outside the ring. Holyfield is readying the 'Evander Holyfield Real Deal Grill,' which will go directly up against George Foreman's famous "Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine" -- the iconic cooking gadget that has reportedly earned a rather staggering $100 million in sales since 1995.

It may be the fiercest rivalry the home grilling world has ever seen -- and there's already trash talking. "I've got a George Foreman grill," Hollyfield told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "It's a good grill. But don't you think the latest grill is supposed to be the best grill?" Oh no he didn't! Oh yes he did.

Holyfield appears in a 30-minute infomercial that began airing last week, describing his grill's culinary and health benefits. In a couple of weeks, Holyfield trades in the apron for boxing trunks, as he's actually jumping in the ring to fight Sultan Ibragimov at Moscow's Khodynka Ice Palace arena, as part of his plan to retire as the sport's oldest heavyweight champion. Oh, and not too long ago, he was featured on 'Dancing With the Stars.

And we can't even manage to floss once a week. Sad, really sad.
