Evander Holyfield is an American former professional boxer….who competed from 1984 to 2011…..as he hailed as the undisputed champion at cruiserweight in the late 1980’s…..then at heavyweight in the early 1990’s….and remains the only boxer in history to win the undisputed championship in two weight classes. Nicknamed “The Real Deal”…..Holyfield is also the only four-time world heavyweight champion….after having held the unified WBA, WBC and IBF titles from 1990 to 1992….the WBA and IBF titles again from 1993 to 1994….and the WBA title a third time from 1996 to 1999….with the IBF title a third time from 1997 to 1999…..and the WBA title for a fourth time from 2000 to 2001.
As seen in this video herewith….the song “Pow Pow Pow I’m Gonna Win” accompanies highlights of The Real Deal from 1984 at the L A Olympics to his cruiserweight title fight with Michael Dokes in 1989…which makes this video another “nugget of gold” in our ImaSportsphile treasure chest of vintage memories.
