Quick Summary

Riddick Bowe was an American professional boxer who competed from 1989 to 2008. He is best known for his heavyweight championship bouts, particularly his trilogy with Evander Holyfield. Bowe defeated Holyfield in their first fight on November 13, 1992, to win the undisputed heavyweight title, holding the World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Council (WBC), and International Boxing Federation (IBF) belts. He later lost the titles due to a dispute with his promoter, Don King, and Holyfield regained the WBA and IBF titles in a rematch a year later. Bowe also faced Larry Holmes in 1992, defeating him in a title bout.12
