The Show Me Center will broadcast live Evander Holyfield's June 19 heavyweight title defense against Larry Holmes.
The scheduled 12-round fight will air one closed circuit video beginning at 8 p.m. with three preliminary bouts.
This marks the third title fight for the 29-year-old Holyfield, who acquired the heavyweight crown by defeating James "Buster" Douglas in 1990. Holyfield's career record is 27-0 with 22 knock outs.
Holmes, 42, reigned over the heavyweight division for more than seven years until 1985 when he relinquished the crown to Michael Spinks.
Reserved table seats are $25. General admission is $20. Tickets are on sale now at the Show Me Center box office and regular ticket outlets. Tickets can be ordered by phone at 651-5000.
