Evander Holyfield has no intention of hanging up his gloves. In fact, he’ll have a new nickname the next time he climbs into the ring. The “Real Deal” is now the “Lean Green Fighting Machine.” Refusing to give up on his goal of retiring as heavyweight champion even as he approaches his 47th birthday, Holyfield said he’ll travel to South Korea in November for his next bout — he’s not even sure of the opponent — and bring along a message of preserving the environment. “I guess I’m lean and green,” said Holyfield, who plans on building a 40-acre solar energy farm on his suburban Atlanta estate. “I’m pretty much going to do all I can to fight against global warming.”
