Evander Holyfield is an American former professional boxer, born in 1962, who became the only four time world heavyweight champion in boxing history after also holding the undisputed cruiserweight championship in the late 1980s. He finished his career with a record of 44 wins, 10 losses, 2 draws and 1 no contest across 57 professional fights, and was the first boxer to win undisputed titles in two weight classes during boxing's three-belt era. He is best known for his two fights with Mike Tyson, defeating Tyson by eleventh round technical knockout in 1996 and winning their 1997 rematch by disqualification after Tyson bit his ear, a bout remembered as the Bite Fight.
