Toe-To-Toe With Evander Holyfield

It's one of those experiences that you can put a check next to on your life experience list.

"Spar with a Heavyweight Champion".

Check.

I got the privilege of strapping on boxing gloves and getting into the same ring with 4-time Heavyweight Champion of the World Evander Holyfield. He is training at the Horseshoe Casino in Bossier City, Louisiana for his August 19th comeback fight against Jeremy Bates in Dallas.

Let's just say, The "Real Deal" took it easy on the the "Big Red". He had several chances to knock me flat, but he sent his punches purposely wide of the my noggin. I am forever grateful for that!

Holyfield hasn't fought in nearly two years, but he says he's in the best shape of his life and ready to prove a lot of the sceptics wrong. He says he wants to go out on his terms.

I'll have more on the sparring session on the sportscast Monday night at 10pm. We'll make sure to stream it on the website as well.
