No One Believed These Evander Holyfield Stories! Until They Watched This!

Evander Holyfield walked into the ring as a 25-to-1 underdog with a heart doctors said would kill him — and became champion of the world for the third time. Born the youngest of nine children in the Bowen Homes housing projects of Atlanta, Holyfield graduated high school at five foot eight and 147 pounds. A welterweight. Every expert in boxing said the same thing — too small to ever be a heavyweight. He proved every single one of them wrong. This video covers the full documented story of The Real Deal. The 1984 Olympic robbery in Los Angeles where he was disqualified after knocking his opponent out cold. The fifteen-round war against Dwight Muhammad Qawi that put him in the hospital. The night he knocked out Buster Douglas to become undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Three brutal wars with Riddick Bowe, including the Fan Man incident that stopped a title fight for twenty minutes. The heart condition that forced his retirement at thirty-one — and the Mayo Clinic clearance that brought him back. The night he destroyed Mike Tyson as a 25-to-1 underdog. The bite heard around the world. And the record that belongs to him alone — the only four-time heavyweight champion in the entire history of the sport. Holyfield earned over $230 million in the ring. He built a 109-room mansion on Evander Holyfield Highway. And he lost nearly all of it. This is the full story of the man who never quit, no matter what the world threw at him.
