World-famous American boxer Evander Holyfield may be famous for his gladiatorial battles-of-the-ring with the likes of Mike Tyson, Michael Moorer and Lennox Lewis, but the 46-year-old pugilist is about to take on an altogether new opponent.
Holyfield, who boasts a record of 42 wins from 54 bouts, is hoping to use his winning formula from the boxing world to help climate change in the wider world.
The former heavyweight champion and Olympic bronze medalist, who famously had part of his ear bitten off by Tyson during a world-title fight in 1997, is working to turn his Atlanta, Georgia estate into a renewable energy playground by building a solar farm along side an organic garden at his ranch.
As one of only three men in history to have been crowned world heavyweight champion three times in a career, the one dubbed ‘The Real Deal’ hopes to make green history with his actions.
But what do you think of Holyfield’s plans? Post your questions below for Holyfield and we’ll put as many as we can to him on Friday’s Connect the World.
