Making It Rain On These Hoes: Evander Holyfield Is Pushin 50 And Winning Heavyweight Titles

Go head, Evander…after all the Baby Mama Drama and When The Checks Stop Coming In stories, we’re glad to see Mr. Holyfield on the come up:

Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield is using George Foreman’s comeback more than 15 years ago as inspiration.

The 47-year-old Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 KOs) knocked out 41-year-old Frans Botha with 2:05 left in the eighth round to claim the WBF heavyweight championship on Saturday night. Holyfield (43-10-2) knocked the defending champion down 31 seconds earlier with a right to the chin. “I’m going to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world,” Holyfield said.

Two judges, Jerry Roth and Glenn Feldman, had Botha ahead 67-66 when the fight was stopped. The other judge, Herb Santee, had it 69-64 for Holyfield.

“I’m happy Botha gave me an opportunity,” Holyfield said. “When people talk about you, it’s who I fought. I fought the best.”

Too bad no one is really checking for those “Heavyweights” anymore, but congrats to Evander…definitely a good look for him.
