In a recent interview, with the YouTube channel, SecondsOut – Holyfield opened up about what his kids think about this upcoming fight which sees the former champion facing Vitor Belfort.
Evander stated when asked about what his family thought about all of this: “Well, you know, a lot of them said ‘Dad, you’re too old. I don’t think you need to be in there,’ and one thing is I took care of myself and it’s because I took care of myself that I can take a little bit more of a risk than some other people.”
Evander Holyfield was then told by the interview that they (his kids) should put some gloves on and get into the ring with him. Evander continued: “My kids have said things like that and I said ‘no, no, no, no, no,’ I’m in boxing because I love boxing. I try to tell them that (they’re) better than me because they’re doing things I couldn’t do. You’re gonna find that people are gifted to do what they do. I can’t beat you at your gift and you can’t beat me at my gift. So, when people find the things that they love – that’s where the success is at in the things that you love.”
