Holyfield was aggressive from the outset and sent Winstead down to the canvas with a powerful left hook before referee Robert Hoyle immediately stepped in and stopped the fight.

"It was such a blessing to be able to showcase my talent on the card like this and God bless us all," Evan said.

"I was just expecting to box and I just went out there and did my job. I was zoned in and God just had me."
