Beating Mike Tyson as a 20-1 underdog was Evander Holyfieldโs defining triumph; the one that truly cemented his legacy, the one that at long last made believers out of all those who doubted him.
Tyson had, after all, lost just one of 46 professional fights and had won eight in a ter Douglas, with only one of those going the distance. Easy to forget now, but heading into this fight, plenty of experts felt that 30-year-old Tyson was better than ever.
Against Holyfield #OnThisDay in 1996, Tyson was fully expected to run through the former cruiserweight, overwhelm him with power and claim the scalp of another cowering victim.
Yet what happened instead was this: the bully was bullied. Or, in other words, Holyfield snatched Tysonโs heavyweight title by pummelling him to defeat over 11 truly stunning rounds.

"Growing up in Baltimore, there were a lot of distractions," he told Boxing News in 2017.
"I was younger [but] I was so into boxing it was like candy to me. But the guys that I looked up to, theyโre either dead or in jail.
"No matter where you come from, no matter what your background, you can achieve whatever you put your mind to."
