Evander Holyfield is Fighting an Exhibition at 50 Years Old!! | Joe Rogan

I've seen every single fight you've ever had. So for me, it's an honor to have you in here, man, as a giant boxing fan. All the way back to Dwight Cawee. So you're fighting the Olympics. So everything. Everything, man. Yeah, for real. And I understand you're going to do an exhibition now. Well, yeah, I'm preparing for one, you know, me going over to Japan. And being able to go over there and see the Tahu, whatever that... Tsunami. Tsunami. Yeah. And the point of seeing the Tsunami, going over there and helping people, and I figured, why not do an exhibition? Right. So it's like a benefit for the tsunami victims. Yes. You look great. You're in great shape still. Well, thank you. You know, you never got out of shape. Well, yeah, heart of the game. Yeah. It's easier to maintain and rebuild. Easier to maintain than rebuild, yeah. But now at your age, like, when was the last time you had a fight? Was it like 2011? Is that what it was? Yeah, 2011. So it's been like eight years, which is... You were thinking of competing like deep into your 50s, though. Well, yeah, the thing is, is that I'm always trying to stay in shape, but I really didn't want to get hit again. Right, right, right. Like that, but... Exhibition. I could do an exhibition. Who was the exhibition against? I don't know yet. I'm thinking about, you know, I wanted to be red at both, me and him buddies. Now, you could do it with somebody you're friends with, because they know that they're not going to hit you too hard if you don't hit them too hard. Right. So it would be more of a sparring sort of deal. Yes, yes. Now, how often are you training now? Well, you know, I'm always training. I shout a box. I don't hit the bag, but I'm ready to do it now because I'm actually going to be performing. So I want to look good, but I don't want to get in a doggy doggy fight. Right. You don't want to get into a war. You just want to have like a little exhibition sparring match, just combinations, not hit each other too hard, that kind of deal? Well, yeah. You know, we can hit hard to the body, but not to hit. Right, right, right. Now, at this stage of your life, you know, it's been a while since you competed. Are you worried that those competitive juices might get fired up again and you might want to actually fight again? No, I don't think I will ever go back in because I did everything I wanted to do. I feel that I got as far as I wanted to get. And, you know, I'm on the full-time headway champion of the world. Ever. So I ain't got no reason to be mad with nobody about anything. I think I had a great career. You had an unbelievable career.
