Evander Holyfield's father passes away

Sad news has struck one of the sport's great warriors as the father of former multi-division champion Evander Holyfield has passed away. Evander's father, Isome Coley of Mobile, Alabama died yesterday. Holyfield did not even meet Coley until he was 21 yeard old, but the two of them reportedly have grown close over the years. Boxingtalk sends its condolences to the entire Coley and Holyfield families.
