| | A dream becomes reality for Evander Holyfield as he gets his chance to represent the United States in the 1984 Olymics. Holyfield brings home the bronze medal after receiving a controversial call for hitting New Zealand's Kevin Barry after a verbal break by the referee in the semi-round.
Holyfield goes professional on November 5th with a 6 round decision over Lionell Byarm.
