The son of former heavyweight world champion, Evander Holyfield, is ready to follow in his father’s footsteps – with those closest to him confident he can eclipse his father’s legendary accomplishments in the ring.
Evan Holyfield, a rising star in the world of boxing, has lived most of his life in Atlanta, Georgia. He boxed as an amateur for 9 years with a diverse resume of national tournament accolades. Holyfield at 22 years old, made his professional debut in one of boxing’s most hallowed venues, the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. He is currently 9–1 as a pro and is signed with Main Events boxing promotion company. He fights super welterweight at 154 pounds.
When he isn’t in the boxing ring he likes to volunteer with the youth by promoting boxing clinics to encourage them to stay fit and healthy, skateboarding, playing video games, or listening
to music.
Holyfield has a dream to be the first father and son boxing champions to be in the Boxing Hall of Fame together. He has envisioned himself as a world boxing champion since he was 12 years old. From trainers to conditioning coaches to boxing peers, they have all said the same thing, he is a hard worker, focused, and someone they look up to as a friend and motivator.
"Yung Holy" and his father, Evander Holyfield, are featured in a new documentary, 'Legacy: In the Shadow of Greatness.'

Evan came to Athelo Group through a connection we had with the producer of a TV show that he is involved with. He was coming out of an unsatisfied relationship with a previous management company and wanted team that he could trust to work in his best interest. We stepped in to give him a support system that he could truly lean on as he seeks to creatively build out his brand.
With a family entrenched in the world of boxing, Evan did not grow up with many people around him that could guide him when it came to branding and growth outside of the ring. What he needed was a mentor removed from the sport to give him some perspective on different directions he could take with his overall career.
As a young boxer with a ton of potential, we wanted to help Evan be the best boxer he could be while also educating him on how to build a brand for himself. He has an array of interests outside of boxing including video game streaming and philanthropic work in Atlanta where is based out of. We are currently working with Evan establish his overall brand identity and find his authentic self.
The work has merely just begun when it comes to building up Evan’s potential. He is a newer member of the Athelo Group team, meaning there is still plenty of work to do. We are hoping to support Evan as he continues to remain undefeated in the ring by finding new opportunities for him to pursue beyond the ring. We will work toward setting him apart from his father’s legacy so he can ultimately cultivate a name for himself through his own merits and achievements as his professional career continues to flourish.
