See Evan Holyfield, son of former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, get wild TKO victory

After starting his professional career seven wins in a row, five in the playoffs, Evan Holyfield acted again on Saturday night, with Shakur Stevenson in the poster below the event led by Jamel Herring against Charles Stanford.

Holyfield, the son of legendary boxer Evander Holyfield, needed a little more than one round to get another notable knockout.

Holyfield landed a wide left hook that froze Stanford, and ended the mid-middleweight fight and left the Atlantean people of Holyfield’s hometown standing open to a right-wing follow-up. Only two of Holyfield’s eight career fights have passed the third round.

Evander attended Holyfield and celebrated on the front line because his son kept his perfect record. Evander recently returned to the ring as part of a Triller ticket, suffered a knockout against former UFC lightweight champion Vitor Belfort, and probably dashed hopes of remaining with Mike Tyson for the trilogy fight.

Holyfield is one of two men on the card who are members of the boxing queens. Muhammad Ali’s grandson, Nico Ali Walsh, will also act, facing James Westley II, in the middle weight of the event’s main card.
