WATCH: When Boxing Legend Evander Holyfield Almost Traded Blows With Will Smith on ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’

In an episode of the American television sitcom ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’, the protagonist of the show, Will Smith had a hilarious moment when he came across four-time heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield.

In this episode, while celebrating Christmas with wealthy Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian, the renowned actor receives a random telephone call. He starts the interaction by wishing him Merry Christmas. However, the person, on the other hand, complains about the lights. This sparked the altercation.

As Smith got infuriated and said, “You got a problem with my lights. Why don’t you come tell me that to my face then? We can do whatever you want to do, sure, wild squirrel.”

A few minutes later, the boxing legend enters the scene. For the uninitiated, Will Smith rushed to meet the man, who had a problem with the lights of Latter’s Christmas party. However, when Smith comes across the man, he discovered that he had messed up with ‘Mr. Evander Holyfield, the undisputed heavyweight champion of the word’.

This left him in utter silence. Shivering with fear of the boxer’s aura, Smith greeted him, “Nice champion”.

Holyfield responded, “Recognized your voice. You are the champ I talk to on telephone.”

To escape himself from the wrath of the heavyweight stalwart, he lied. Smith said, “Phone, I ain’t talk to you on no phone.”

Why is Will Smith in the headlines for the Oscars?

The renowned 53-year-old actor is making headlines for the heated exchange with the comedian Chris Rock at the 94th Academy award ceremony.

Notably, while hosting the Oscars, the comedian made a joke about the hairstyle of Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, adding a reference from the movie “G.I. Jane”.

However, this did not go well with Smith, and he took offense at this joke. Clearly displeased by the comments, the global icon left his seat, walked on stage, and slapped Chris Rock on a live television.

Later, it became the infamous spotlight, when everyone discovered it was not fake. This story has even over-shadowed the fact that Will Smith clinched the best actor award for the movie ‘King Richard’.
