Evander Holyfield touched on losing three fights consecutively for the first time in his career, which motivated him to train harder and reconsider his strategies. Consequently, Holyfield faced a ban by the New York State Athletic Commission due to diminishing skills, even though he passed all the tests. However, Holyfield made a triumphant return, defeating multiple opponents including Jimmy Bates, Frank Oquendo, and Vinny Malone. Amid victories, he faced allegations of steroid use, which he vehemently denied. He pointed out his physical consistency as a heavyweight, arguing he had never visibly bulked up, unlike alleged steroid users. Holyfield highlighted a prevailing issue in boxing - accusations thrown to tarnish a boxer's reputation, insisting he wasn't "afraid of anybody" and could take on any opponent. The interview also delved into Holyfield's relationship with controversial boxing promoter, Don King.
