Elijah Holyfield is proud of his famous last name.
He’s not one to shy away from any questions about what it was like to grow up a son to Evander Holyfield, a former Heavyweight boxing champion. He’s proud of the athletic legacy he is carrying on.

“(It's) not really a shadow, but if it is, it’s just motivation to get out of it,” Holyfield said.
