Is alive
Evander Holyfield, diagnosed with a congenital heart condition, announced his retirement from boxing Tuesday, four days after losing the world heavyweight title to Michael Moorer. Holyfield’s personal physician, Dr. Ronald Stephens, said the condition was diagnosed after Holyfield lost a 12-round decision to Moorer on Friday night in Las Vegas. It was not life threatening, he said. “Mr. Holyfield fought this fight in heart failure, and it’s an absolute miracle he could fight this fight for 12 rounds in this condition,” the doctor said. “It’s hard enough to fight in perfect condition.” In a conference call with reporters from Atlanta, Stephens said Holyfield could live a normal, active life, but he no longer could box.
Is back
Evander Holyfield’s return to the boxing ring has been delayed again. He is now scheduled to fight Aug. 14 as part of a Triller Fight Club boxing card against an opponent yet to be determined, a Triller executive told USA TODAY Sports.

On June 28, 1997, Mike Tyson bites Evander Holyfield’s ear in the third round of their heavyweight rematch. The attack led to his disqualification from the match and suspension from boxing, and was the strangest chapter yet in the champion’s roller-coaster career.
Holyfield won a 1997 rematch against Tyson, which saw the latter disqualified in round three for biting off part of Holyfield’s ear. During this reign as champion, he also avenged his loss to Michael Moorer and reclaimed the IBF title.
