Evander Holyfield discussed his boxing journey and the pinnacle of that journey being his long-awaited fight with Mike Tyson. Prior to facing Tyson, Holyfield defeated Bobby Chess with a swift knockout in six rounds. He shared his perspective on Mike Tyson about his fighting style and the tactics he followed during the matches. Speaking candidly about his boxing style, Holyfield commented on Mike Tyson accusing him of intentional head-butting, noting that, in the intensity of the fight, such collisions happen. Remembering his victorious bout with Tyson on November 9, 1996, he noted the 5 to 1 odds in Tyson's favor didn't deter him. Holyfield's victory over Tyson made him the first individual after Muhammad Ali to win the heavyweight championship three times. Despite having other notable fights in his career, he conceded this was his greatest victory, second only to making the Olympic team.
