Evander Holyfield is one of the most notable names in the boxing community. However, how much do people really know about him? For instance, who is Holyfield married to? The former heavyweight champion was married three times in the past to Paulette Bowen (1985-1991), Janice Itson (1996-2000), and Candi Calvana Smith (2003-2012). Yet, not a lot of people are aware of his current partner, Shevon Harris Holyfield

Holyfiled’s multiple marriages aren’t any secrets – neither are his rocky relationships with his ex-wives. Despite failing in three marriages in the past, Holyfield and Shevon tied the knot in February last year, marking Holyfield’s fourth marriage. According to sources, the pair first met each other way before they decided to get married.

According to a report from St. Luis Business Journal, Evander and Shevon met decades ago in St. Louis. However, it wasn’t until years after his divorce from Candi Calvana Smith that a romantic relationship started developing between them. The pair even celebrated their first marriage anniversary in February this year. To celebrate the day, Holyfield shared a clip from their wedding on his Instagram account. The former heavyweight champion wrote, “Happy one-year anniversary to my life partner, with whom God has blessed me, my wife @shevonl.harris.” However, it begs the question – who is Shevon Harris Holyfield, and her background in law?
