Meet Evander Holyfield in the Ring at Poker in the Park

WBF heavyweight title holder Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield will be in the ring at the world’s largest poker fair, Poker in the Park, in London’s Leicester Square. Holyfield, who is a big poker fan, will appear as a spokesperson for RealDealPoker.com, and poker and boxing fans alike are invited to come down and meet one of the most exciting boxers of his generation. RealDealPoker.com is a new site in the online poker space, which is designed to replicate a live game of poker by replacing the random number generator with “real” cards.  
 
Poker in the Park rolls into Leicester Square on 2nd and 3rd September 2010 for two days of all things poker, with lectures from top pros, live sit-n-gos running around the clock, cut price books and merchandise and much, much more. Last year the festival attracted 20,000 visitors.
 
Festival organiser Michael Caselli said, “We are thrilled to have a superstar like Evander on board at Poker in the Park. We’re used to having the most famous players in poker drop by, but Evander’s presence really illustrates the synergy between poker and mainstream sports and the exciting growth of poker in general.”
