Former world Boxing Champion, Evander Holyfield, on Wednesday said his foundation would donate health facilities worth $3 million to Lagos State.

Holyfield, who announced the donation during a courtesy visit to Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode at the State House in Alausa, also said that the foundation would be established in the state.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the former world Champion will be engaging in a Charity Rumble Fight with a national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, where Mr. Ambode would act as a judge.

Holyfield said that the gesture was part of his strategy of giving back to the society.

He noted that giving back to the society would help children who had interest in sports to actualise their dreams as he was able to do.

Holyfield said his visit was to give kids the basic knowledge in boxing and inspire them on how to maintain a winning attitude.

Holyfield, who narrated how his mother supported his boxing career, said that his mother often advised him to hold on to what he was good at and never quit even when the tide was not good.

He said: “I held on to those words and they assisted me in becoming world heavyweight champion today. I believe that the kids should be inspired just like my mother inspired me to hold on tenaciously to those things I am good at.”
