--------
Renowned boxer Evander Holyfield reminisced about his bizarre 1993 WBA IBF heavyweight championship match against Riddick Bowe, infamously known as the "Fan Man Fight." During the discussion, he recalled how a man named James "Fan Man" Miller parachuted into the ring in the seventh round, causing the match to be paused for roughly 20 minutes. While Holyfield emerged victorious from the 12-round match, Bowe contested the decision, arguing that the interruption allowed Holyfield to recover. Going further into detail about his strategy for the fight, Holyfield explained his tactics of boxing for the first six rounds to tire out Bowe. The historic boxing match is remembered as one of the most unusual in the history of the sport.
Bowe saying Holyfield was never the same after the 3rd fight? Holy went on to whoop Tyson 2x, savagely smash Moorer for revenge and a 2nd title, and then was the only man to rumble with Lennox 24 rounds, despite being 5 years past his prime and outweighed by 40lbs, then got 2 more title shots getting robbed 10 yrs later vs. Valuev. Bowe? Got beat half to death 2x by Golota, retired, was completely unintelligible with Larry Merchant after that 3rd Holy fight, joined the Marines and quit 3 days later, and then kidnapped his family knife point.
Bowe was very smart by having that old man waistline, he always wore his trunks higher than Steve Urkel😂😂😂
That's how Holyfield was looking in their first fight and all that grease he had staked on his forehead.😂
You can't make this stuff up a guy drops out of the sky wearing a parachute and a large fan blade on his back (a paraglider) and drops into ring ropes mid fight then into the crowd.. First of all I hope they locked him up and that said I believe it was Evander's fight no matter what.. That was a pretty wild event and one for the books! If you review the fight in round 4 they kept fighting hard after the bell they had to be pulled apart and once again at the end of round 12
I think he did get locked up but he died years later.
The fanman had killed himself a couple of years later I think...if I'm not mistaken
@@letstalkwithpatrickpodcast well I hope he’s flying around soaring thru the skies on his weird lil paraglider in heaven
@@djeanpierre
He deleted himself.
90s boxing was wild.

I remember watching that fight with my dad as a 10 yo kid. I didn't know what was going on. He dropped out of the sky into the ropes and got beaten half to death.
The way both legends describe how fan man got beat up by the crowd funny af ngl 🤣
From my recollection the fan man got tangled in the ropes on the way down and one of the corners laid a beating on him.
Fanman started getting his ass beat before he even got close. Bowes corner was undefeated. 😂😂😂😂
best interview ... we need more boxers on vlad
Bowe had Holyfield’s number.
I'm sitting here listening like this mf really talking like he was EVER gonna knock out Riddick Bowe. 😂😂😂 He knows he talking to a casual.
@@skepchica
If he wasn't sick or if the fan man didn't come down. Whole lot of "ifs"😂
The Way They Communicate...I Wouldn't Want To Be A Boxer
Bowe was lucky fan man dropped in, he was fading badly..
I know there are alot of Tyson fans , but EVANDER HOLYFIELD is my favorite fighter of all time. He is one BAD DUDE.
Holyfield is hilarious😂
The fanman fight was iconic - miss the 90s
Sadly, it appears both Holyfield and Bowe have serious ''dain bramage''.
Holyfield!!!
I love how he brought up "Manny" Emanuel Steward in this convo!!! 💯🧤🥊😵 Boxing trainer & legend!! Frfr
Holyfield boxed a brilliant fight under the tutelage of the late Emmanuel Steward before the Fan Man entered the ring. In fact Bowe weighed over 10 lbs more than he did for the 1st fight the previous year which indicated he did not take training as serious to defend his championship than he did to win the championship. Ironically Bowe was champion for that 1 year and by 1996 he was done as a top fighter.
Bowe did win the WBO title after that 2nd Holyfield fight. It wasn't a major belt back then but it is now
I remember the seventh round differently than Evander does, he talks like he was getting ready to knock Bowe out, I was thinking the opposite, Bowe was knocking Holyfield off-balance with that jab, and Bowe for whatever reason didn’t use the jab as much after the delay.
Plus I’m not 100% convinced Holyfield deserved the decision. He fought with a lot of heart just like he did the first time, but I thought Bowe landed more. And when he used his jab, he dominated. I don’t think the decision was a robbery, the fight was closer than the first fight, but I thought it was questionable.
There wasn’t an 8th round yet the judges gave it to Holyfield
Still my favorite boxer
Poor R.Bowe. Too many punches taken, long term effects are terrible. Sad
Bowe had a stroke.
Holyfield voice sounds punchy, but if you listen to what he is sayings. a lot of its interesting.
The Great 👌 Fighter
Love ya Evander. One of the very VERY best. Fought’em all. Always in great shape. Always believed he could win. And did most all the time. A true Holy WARRIOR.
That era with Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, and Riddick Bowe was amazing for the boxing fans of that time. These were real gladiators!! It’s a shame that boxing has fell off to the point that it is today.
My all time favorite fighter man with all heart
He took steroids. That’s why his heart stopped in the ring 🤦♀️
If anyone was affected negatively by the fan man, it was Holyfield. He was absolutely dominating the 1st half of the fight. That 20 minute delay changed the fight completely.
Ahh my ear
If the fan man was set up by mgm grand they could’ve just handed bowe the decision as well, not true. Bowe just blatantly got robbed, there wasn’t even an 8th round yet the judges gave it to Holyfield. Bowe won the 7th before the parachute and one of the judges scored it 10/10
Goddamn. Listen to both of them. They are more punch drunk than Ali. Evander is at least southern so he can get away with it.
Bowe was wayyy bigger then Holyfield, so imagine if they were the same weight….. Holyfield is the better fight, and bowe ducked Lennox Lewis while Holyfield didn’t duck anybody!!
Holyfield was winning the fight at that point but I have to agree with Bowe. The fight should've been ruled a no contest.
I agree
He's trippin talking about "if he knocked out Riddick Bowe". Literally 0 chance of that ever happening.
GTFOH they did the right thing to continue the fight, it wasn’t like someone called in a 💣 threat or some shit they’ll been different all it was just a stupid @$$ wb who cause a distraction and got his @$$ whooped for it. I gave Bowe a pass for not fighting Lennox Lewis but for him to say the bout should’ve been a no contest hell naw.
@@bossplayermfs5972 He also said he should've won. I don't completely disagree with that at all but no contest I do.
No, if they would've stopped the fight, they'd go to the scorecards because 6 rounds had been completed
All middle aged boxers are slurring
The fan man didn’t drop from an airplane by parachute as Vlad states. He was flying some homemade fan type paragliding contraption and was flying it around prior to the fight as well. Vlad never saw the fight period.
Exactly...what airplane......
Yea, I dunno where Wlad got that from. Miller took off from the roof of the Mirage hotel, how he got up there with that propeller powered parachute thing ill never know lol
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bowe lost the 2nd fight fair and square, he won the 11th and 12th rounds but the Holyfield unanimously won this fight he was landing combination punches on Bowe the majority of the fight.
He wasn't knocking Bowe out tho.
Respect to Evander always but Bowe was winning that round where the fan man entered the building.
Bowe was in his way to getting stopped
@@matthewwilliams3643 Was he though? His jab was dominating the round Holyfield claimed he had hurt Bowe. Holyfield deserves credit for being the only man to have a win against Riddick Bowe but Bowe didn’t help himself by coming into the fight in bad shape.
@@matthewwilliams3643 You think Holyfield had a chance of knocking out Riddick Bowe??? 😂😂😂
You must be blind or something cause Holyfield was whooping Bowe’s @$$ I don’t know what fight you was watching son.
1:40 The fan man got beat up by Farrakhan’s security.
Nobody's touching the Honorable Minister with the FOI around. Ever.
@@skepchica why you say that?
Do your homework on Vlad paying for bots to comment.... let's start there. It hit different
POOR BOWE MAN , THOSE HEAD SHOTS REALLY CAUGHT UP WITH HIM .....
My holy lord he be out in that field,
Do your homework on Vlad paying for bots to comment... Let's start there...
It’s hit different when the bot comments on its own comment
My bad, didn't mean it do your homework on no One being perfect, deffo not a bot my guy, love from Ireland
@@wayneryan5161 Try to figure out how to write full sentences because your not making any sense..
And the Nation of Islam was protecting Louis Farrakhan also!! 🥊🥊💯
🤣🤣
@GORILLA_PIMP Oh, you may laugh, but Farrakhan attended that fight!! Farrakhan's F.O.I and Bowe’s bodyguards immediately pulled James "Fan Man" Miller away from the ring and began to beat him with their brick-like cellphones!! So, don't get it twisted!!
Bowes corner was undefeated!!! But NO ONE will EVER touch the Honorable Minister with the FOI around. Ever.
@@skepchica 🫵🏾🫵🏾🙏🏽💯☪️
I need subtitles to understand both of them.
Him AND bowe dam
@@GORILLA_PIMP I love boxing, but it sure does create a lot of damage to the brain. It's quite sad.
🙄 go get some then idiot...
Bowe sounds worse than Evander
@@starwarsroo2448 Bowe speaks English as a second language.
At least boxing didn't leave these articulate men with any long term issues.....
Tyson > Holyfield
Bowe did get robbed. Bowe should’ve been 3-0 against this overrated dude.
Hater?!?? You must be a Tyson fan boy
Holyfield overrated ??? FOH lmao
If either of you two clowns think he legitimately beat Bowe than you’re slow.
Who hurt you ?
@@RaeRae12367 man if you don’t shut your corny single mother raised ass up. My opinion is he’s overrated. None of you losers will change that
