Evander Holyfield was in Argentina to attend  the biggest and best Television Show of South America, as an astute Judge of a spectacular dancing contest.

The four times heavyweight and cruiserweight champion, participated in “Dancing with the stars” in 2006, as Floyd Mayweather Jr. did in the past.

The outstanding TV extravaganza of Marcelo Tinelli,  dubbed “Show Match”, has counted on the participation of boxers as Mike Tyson in “Dancing for a Dream” in 2011,  and also  great Argentinian fighters including Marcela la “Tigresa” Acuña, Alejandra “Locomotora” Oliveras, Rodrigo la “Hiena” Barrios, Jorge “Locomotora” Castro, Fabio  la “Mole” Moli, and Sergio “Maravilla” Martínez.

The participation of Evander Holyfield back then involved three stages. The first dance didn’t convinced the Judges, but the great champion returned to prove he can do his best in order to delight the jury. His development improving by leaps and bounds,  not only as dancer but also  on his interaction with the spokesman  and the Argentinian team of world champions.

The boxer born in Alabama, and his partner, Judith Kovalovsky, got the highest score on the third and last dance.  Evander was always supported by the world champions with the cheer up of “Evander, you wont go.”

The special moment of the night came when Evander Holyfield presented the a WBC replica of the champion belt to Marcelo Tinelli,  recognizing him as “Friend of Boxing” and welcoming to the World Boxing Council.
Tinelli would write on his twitter later “I will remember this moment forever, Holyfield putting the WBC belt on me, I adore him”,

Now…bang up to date, during the  week of the boxers in Argentina activity was intense. Evander  attended several musical shows. As the  ambassador of the WBC, he also  visited several schools following the program
#BOXVAL  of “Scholas”, the International Pontifical  Foundation, created by Pope Francis.

He gave several outstanding motivational  speeches, on how he started in  boxing,  as well as his ensuing experiences.  Evander  took photos with all the attendants and planted the olive of peace, which unites religions.
