Famed boxer Evander Holyfield recently discussed the long-lasting effects of that bout. Despite the pain, Holyfield lasted the full 12 rounds, an achievement he takes pride in. Following the match, he suffered a heart condition that was initially associated with human growth hormone use, but Holyfield maintains the diagnosis was due to a morphine overdose.
Although the Nevada State Athletic Commission connected the morphine overdose to HGH, Holyfield asserted that he was a clean athlete and it was simply a misinterpretation. The retired fighter emphatically denied any false healing by a preacher named Benny Hinn and a subsequent $265,000 donation, describing instead an offering made prior to the supposed "healing." Holyfield, proud to be a Christian boxer, emphasized his belief in God, crediting his faith for his professional success despite trials.
