BOXING legend Evander Holyfield was ringside to watch his son Evan continue his unbeaten record in stunning fashion.
The 22-year-old super welterweight annihilated Travis Nero in just 82 seconds at the Hard Rock Hotel in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Holyfield dropped his totally outmatched opponent three times as his former world heavyweight champion father cheered on from the front row.
His impressive display stretched his record to 3-0 as he goes in search of achieving the same greatness his old man achieved between the ropes.
Holyfield told Boxing Scene: “When I get in the ring I don’t think about him being there because down the road there are going to be many others watching and if I got nervous fighting in front of my dad I would really be nervous fighting in front of others.
“I work hard whether he is there or not, and even if there was nobody there watching I will work my hardest and do my best.”
He added: “I wouldn’t say I am following in his footsteps; boxing is just something that fell on me. I had my first fight at 8, and won, then my mom took me and put me in every sport she possibly could until I was 14.
