Promoter sees Houston, Vegas as site of proposed fight

LAS VEGAS (AP) - The promoter of a proposed fight between former heavyweight champions George Foreman and Larry Holmes wants the bout to take place either in the Houston Astrodome or at a Las Vegas casino.

Roger Levitt said he has talked with representatives of the Astrodome, the Las Vegas Hilton and the MGM Grand. Spokesmen for the casinos described the talks as very preliminary

Both Foreman and Holmes are signed, according to Leavitt, but no date has been set.

Foreman will be 50 Jan. 10, and Holmes will be 49 Nov. 3.

Nevada boxing officials said both fighters would have to undergo extensive physicals if they were to fight in the state because of their ages.
