On Wednesday night (Oct. 28) in midtown Manhattan, the lights of the Paley Center of Media dims, the screen readies, and the story of the only four-time heavyweight champion of professional boxing is shared amongst sports fans to know the man behind the gloves: Evander Holyfield.

In the latest installment of ESPN’s 30 for 30 film series, the documentary titled Chasing Tyson takes us back to the legendary ups and downs of the career of Iron Mike and how he dominated the world of professional boxing. But part of the discussion was a young man who caught the world of sports off guard and gunned for Tyson’s throne.

A kid hailing from Atlanta, Ga. who considered himself a “momma’s boy” and never caused any trouble while growing up made his way onto the boxing scene. His name was Evander Holyfield.
