The Real Deal — four-time heavyweight world champion and the only man to hold the undisputed heavyweight title three times.

Evander Holyfield is the only boxer in history to win the undisputed heavyweight championship three times. He was also the undisputed cruiserweight champion. His two fights with Mike Tyson — including the infamous ear-biting incident — became the most talked-about bouts of the 1990s. His victories over Riddick Bowe and George Foreman also stand among the era's most memorable.

He is the only boxer in history to win the undisputed heavyweight championship on three separate occasions.
