Evander Holyfield
Four-time Heavyweight Champion, Olympic Bronze Medallist, 1984
Nicknamed “The Real Deal”, Evander ended his professional boxing career with 44 wins and only 10 losses. His grandmother was proved right, when she said he would change the Holyfield name; becoming synonymous with poise, power and persistence. Never giving up on a dream to be the best at what he loved doing, Evander imparts the same wisdom his mother gave him onto his own 11 children. “My job is to set an example, and so I explain to my kids how my mother told me; I made mistakes, now you ride my back and not make the same mistakes, so you can be better than me.”
