Evander Holyfield began boxing in an Alabama Boys Club when he was a boy. Twenty years later he became the heavyweight champion of the world. 

But in 1994 doctors discovered a heart irregularity in Holyfield, and he was forced to drop out of boxing. Then God had something special in store for Evander Holyfield, a healing of his heart condition, which would allow the humble warrior to step back into the ring. Here is the story of the physical and spiritual victories of one of the most popular boxers of all time. 

Some of the toughest fights are won by spirit, not by power and might. Evander Holyfield proved that when he was unfairly disqualified three rounds short of a gold medal in the '84 Olympics, accepting the bronze with grace and dignity. And proved it again when he sank reigning heavyweight champion Buster Douglas in three rounds despite the so-called experts' predictions to claim boxing's coveted heavyweight title. 

The Humble Warrior offers an intimate and inspiring portrait of a determined man who refuses to let defeat have the final word.
