Evander Holyfield talked about his work ethic and his decision to move up to the heavyweight category despite being more naturally suited to the cruiserweight category. His decision to move was inspired by Mike Tyson, who he saw as an opponent he could beat despite his formidable reputation. In the heavyweight category, Holyfield racked up impressive victories against fighters like James 'Quick' Tillis and Michael Dukes, earning him the number one contender spot for the heavyweight title. Holyfield notes that Tyson's preparations before their much-anticipated match were not as diligent as his own, including partying just before the match, a stark contrast to Holyfield's disciplined approach.
