COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -- Evander Holyfield vowed that he'll continue to fight until he regains the world heavyweight title.

The 48-year-old former four-time heavyweight champion will face Denmark's 45-year-old Brian Nielsen in Copenhagen on March 5 in a non-title bout.

"My goal is to be the undisputed world champion one more time before I let it go. Once I do that, I sit down," he said Thursday. "And until I do that, I continue to fight."

WBA king David Haye and WBC champ Vitali Klitschko and WBO, IBF and IBO titlist Wladimir Klitschko hold the current world heavyweight belts.

Holyfield knocked out Francois Botha last April after losses to Nikolay Valuev and Sultan Ibragimov. He has a career record of 43-10-2, with 28 knockouts.

"The most important thing to me is to fight. I take the fights that are available," he said.
