“We’re With You Every Step of the Way”: Fans Join Legendary Trainer in Wishing Speedy Recovery to Evander Holyfield’s Son After Painful Surgery

Evander Holyfield has long been counted as one of the greatest boxers ever to take a step into the squared circle. His career, which spanned decades, featured 57 fights out of which he managed to secure 44 victories and only faced defeat 10 times throughout his long career. Such was his greatness that his fame still remains intact decades after his retirement. However, in recent times, the 60-year-old icon’s personal life has taken a different trajectory. His son Evan Holyfield, who has been following his steps in boxing, suffered a distressing medical condition.

The 25-year-old professional boxer who has already entered the ring 12 times has already undergone open heart surgery. The news came out a couple of months ago as his mother, Toi Irvin, detailed his condition on Facebook. According to her, he started “vomiting and experienced shortness of breath and pain in his chest” while preparing for a fight. Moreover, the young boxer opened his heart in one post and shared details about his condition. However, it seems that he is finally moving towards recovery as he wrote a message for the fans.

On his Instagram post, he shared a picture of himself after the painful surgery. In the caption he wrote, “From ring to recovery: Every champion faces a battle beyond the ropes. Grateful for each step in my journey back to strength. Looking forward to show everyone where I’m at now from where I was this day.” He appears to be motivated to once again return to the ring to prove his might.
