Tight security around Holyfield

JAKARTA (JP): World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport on Monday and was quickly whisked away from journalists.

Tight security provided by about 30 young men prevented local reporters from getting any comments from the world champion.

Antara news agency reported Holyfield traveled to Indonesia for a photo session that will be used in an advertising campaign. Boxing promoter Tourino Tidar has invited Holyfield to attend an international boxing competition on Tuesday at the Senayan tennis stadium. (yan)
