Guess whose flight had ZERO air rage issues?
Mine.
I had the privilege of sitting next to Evander Holyfield this evening.
Everyone was very well behaved the whole flight.
He is one of the most grounded humans I've talked to in a very long time.
Told me about how he was the youngest of nine growing up in the projects and how his mother and grandmother shaped his life.
Extremely personable and patient with people who fanboy/girl on him.
We talked a good bit of the flight and several people came up to our row and asked if it was really him.
I said yes and told them I was his bodyguard.
No one believed it but he pretended to think it was funny.
He said that he sparred Tyson the first time when he was 21 and Tyson was 17 and that he got the best of him.
The whole world watched them fight two times years later.
I was a fan before but a bigger one now!
