Oliver McCall vs. Larry Holmes, billed as "Burden of Proof", was a professional boxing match contested on April 8, 1995 for the WBC Heavyweight Championship.

[2] Each of his previous three attempts (against Spinks in 1986 in a rematch, against Mike Tyson in 1988, and against Evander Holyfield in 1992) ended in defeat, although he went the distance in two of the three fights.

There were wins Carl Daniels, Frans Botha, Henry Akinwande, Tim Austin and Nana Konadu on the undercard.

In the next fight, IBF welterweight champion Félix Trinidad made the sixth defence of his championship he had held since 1993 against Roger Turner.

Julio César Chávez faced Giovanni Parisi in the third defence of his WBC and lineal junior welterweight championships that he had won back from Frankie Randall in June 1994 to avenge what was, to that point in his career, his only defeat.

The final match before the main event was a rematch for the WBC super welterweight crown, in which former champion Terry Norris looked to regain the championship he lost to Luis Santana under controversial circumstances in November 1994.

Bruno in turn would immediately lose the title in his first defence against Mike Tyson, whom the winner of the fight was contractually obligated to face.

Bruce Seldon would make one successful defence of his WBA title, defeating Joe Hipp by TKO in the tenth round on the undercard of Tyson's comeback fight event.

Julio César Chávez would make one more sanctioned defence of his WBC and lineal super lightweight titles before losing them to De La Hoya by knockout in June 1996, the first time in his career he had been stopped.
