It’s odd sometimes, how a certain date can produce some big boxing upsets. Case in point, April 22. It was on this day, in different years, indeed one of these fights taking place in a different decade, when three shockers took place in fights that contested the world heavyweight title.
Three great heavyweight battles, each one crammed full of action, drama, switching momentums and plenty of passion. The trilogy raged between Riddick Bowe and Evander Holyfield reached its conclusion on this day, November 4, back in 1995.
There were a couple of upsets last night – Martin Bakole’s points victory over the fancied Tony Yoka at heavyweight surprising plenty of people – and Evan Holyfield, son of the great Evander Holyfield, suffered a nasty KO defeat.
