Evander Holyfield is one of the most decorated and respected boxers in history. In this interview, Holyfield sits down with Tony Robbins to discuss his career, his legacy and how boxing is so much more than a physical battle.

Holyfield grew up as the youngest of nine in Atlanta, Georgia. His life changed at the age of seven when he started boxing at a Boys Club boxing tournament. Through hard work and dedication, he rose through the ranks to become one of the most successful boxers in the history of the sport.

Nicknamed “The Real Deal,” he is a four-time world heavyweight champion and the only boxer in history to have won undisputed championships in two weight classes.

Throughout his career, he has represented the United States in the 1984 Summer Olympics and successfully defeated boxing greats like George Foreman, Larry Holmes and Mike Tyson. He is also the first boxer to ever hold world titles in three different decades: 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

But it was not without struggle. After a successful boxing career that had earned him millions of dollars, he lost everything through a series of bad business deals and lawsuits. Many people in his situation would have seen this as the end of their success.

Not Evander Holyfield.

Relying on the toughness he says he got from his mother, his trust in God and the mental lessons that boxing had taught him, Holyfield pulled himself up off the ground and rebuilt his success.

Holyfield talks with Tony about how the first step to regaining his happiness and success was to forgive the people who had wronged him. He also had to forgive himself for letting people do those things to him. Rather than focusing on what he no longer had, he focused on what he still had and what he could do to find happiness again.

He leaned into the three main lessons that his mother taught him when he was young: Listen. Follow Directions. Don’t Quit.

Through this epic retelling of his comeback, Holyfield proves that even when we think we’re down and out: there’s more to the story.
