Wife of Evander Holyfield Gets Protective Order After Alleged Assault
Candi Holyfield, wife of the only heavyweight to win the world title four times, Evander Holyfield was able to get a temporary protective order against her husband after the allegations of Candi being hit several times after an argument in early February stemming from whether she was giving enough money to their church.
Candi Holyfield said in her statement that the abuse started about six months after they were married July 1, 2003, and recurred again when she was pregnant with their first child. She said at first it was "mainly emotional" abuse but physical incidents have shoot up since 2008.
She claimed her husband strangled her in front of their daughter and housekeeper in 2008, and that last year he hit and grabbed her in front of their children. A few weeks ago, she said, he threw a bottle of water at her. In her to say that statement released Thursday by a publicist, Candi Holyfield was gracious enough to say that her husband was a great man and father.
