Boxing legend Evander Holyfield discussed the dramatic events leading up to his third fight in a trilogy with Riddick Bowe, referred to as "The Final Chapter." Holyfield was the first in line for the championship fight but fell sick after eating some tainted food in L.A. ten days prior. Despite his sickness and against all advice, Holyfield decided to fight because he couldn't afford to lose the $10M he was being offered. That fight is considered the most brutal he ever fought, especially since it was cut short after 8 rounds - with Holyfield being tackled. Later, Holyfield reveals that he was diagnosed with hepatitis and was mad about losing. However, he felt the illness had put him in a position to gain the championship title.
