Evander Holyfield wants to fight either David Haye or one of the Klitschko brothers as he looks to become the oldest world heavyweight champion.

Holyfield, 47, has challenged the three current world champions - Londoner Haye, Vitali or Wladimir - to give him a shot at their titles in what he believes would be a beneficial fight for all concerned.

The American currently holds the lesser WBF belt after defeating fellow veteran Frans Botha in April.

However, he has his sights set on breaking Foreman's record of being the oldest holder of one of the three main heavyweight titles.

Holyfield, who will face Sherman Williams in November, said: "I'm looking at both the Klitschko brothers and David Haye. I want to fight the people with the titles.

"I'm fighting this Williams guy because I need to stay active.

"I'm still the most popular heavyweight that is fighting. It's obvious that if they felt I was an easy fight, they would go ahead and fight me. But they realise they don't want to get duked by the old man.

"But if they want to make money, I'm the guy they need to fight."
