this profiles is not connected I would be glad to but it is locked

Mother Mary Ann Holyfield born Born: July 1928, Atlanta, GA died 1996 in a car accident.

Father: Ison Coley When he was twenty-one, Evander Holyfield finally met his father, an illiterate lumberjack in Atmore who hauled wood for the local mills. His mother told him that big, quiet Ison Coley, who could lift cars and wrestle bears, was his father. Coley, who signed his name with an X, accepted Holyfield as his son. But he never went after his son’s money. “Evander had to push it on him,” Bo says. He bought his father a house, a car, and a truck and paid for his medicine. In 2007 Coley died of a heart attack. http://www.atlantamagazine.com/great-reads/evander-holyfield/
