Part 8: Riddick Bowe on Losing to Holyfield After Parachuter Landed in the Ring
--------
In this clip, Riddick Bowe opened up about his first fight against Evander Holyfield in 1992, which led to one of the greatest rounds in heavyweight history, as Holyfield fought back in the 10th round despite being swollen and bruised. Riddick won that fight in a unanimous decision and became the heavyweight champion of the world, which led to conversations about a fight against Lennox Lewis that ultimately never materialized. Riddick then spoke about his rematch with Holyfield, which featured a guy making a parachute landing that nearly made it to the ring during the seventh round. The fight was stopped for 30 minutes, and Riddick stated that he was cold when he went back, and he ultimately lost the fight- his only career loss. To hear more, hit the above clip.
