HOLYFIELD LICENSED IN TEXAS

==================

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Nevada State Athletic Commission has granted Evander Holyfield's request for a fighter's license.
The one-fight license was granted Monday. It was awarded on the condition that Holyfield would get a retinal inspection before any future fights in Las Vegas.

One board member voted against granting the license, saying he was concerned about the now 47-year-old Holyfield's condition. Raymond Avansino Jr. said he wanted a medical advisory board and neurologist to look at Holyfield's capabilities.

In 2003 Holyfield lost a fight to James Toney at Mandalay Bay.

Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer says Holyfield has come back and proven himself.

Holyfield's fight could come next month against 41-year-old Frans Botha.
