[Master]

I will watch it now!

I bet Evander pulls in higher viewing figures than Fury does on Channel 5.

I met him 8 years ago and he could barely muster more than a grunt...

I've read on here before that apparently he can be a dick in person.


That's a shame. Heroes seldom live up to our expectations.

Iv read that about him a few times. A miserable, arrogant old man. I think if hes in this for the duration you will see it.

Always makes me laugh when he brags about the incident where he stood up to Mike Tyson at the pool table at the olympic trials and the sparring they had. Mike Tyson was only 17 at that point

To be fair to Fury he was only 17 and that is quite usual in the reduced vocabulary of a teenager.

[GAME]

I've met Evander in person. He's one of my favourite boxers of all time.

Be interesting to see if his true personality comes out on the show. I bet everyone who has ever starred in cbb is kicking themselves that they weren't in this series because they could've met a celebrity

Doing my research

'I've fasted for a week': Evander Holyfield will cope without food in CBB
HE'S the Muscle Mary of Celebrity Big Brother, but Evander Holyfield reckons he can survive without food should the housemates lose out on their shopping budget.

The 16st fighter has already experienced life without grub for a WEEK for boxing rituals, so won't be losing his temper on a diet of rice and beans.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Star Online, the US sportsman – nicknamed The Real Deal – explained: "I've fasted for a whole week, so I should be good at that."

He also revealed that he's prepared to show his co-stars some moves from the ring, although it will depend on "what type of people they are".

Evander said: "I don't want to show them something that will eventually get them hurt.

"So if somebody wants me to show them how to hit someone, then all of a sudden, it looks like I told them how, and then it reflects on me."

And the 51-year-old confessed he is actually looking forward to fireworks sparking inside the house.

He said: "I haven't [prepped for the psychological shock], I've seen too many things to be shocked.

"I'd love somebody to do something so wow that I would be shocked! I haven't been shocked yet."

Meanwhile, the gentle giant reckons he'll be mates with his fellow 11 comrades, whether they're skilled sportsmen too or famous for being reality stars.

He continued: "I don't really think it makes a difference. I'm a people person.

"I can deal with people for who they are.

"I came from a big family, and in a big family there's a lot of ego. It's part of life."

Evander – who famously had part of his ear bitten off by Mike Tyson during a battle in 1997 – added he'll be suffering in silence if anyone bothers him in the house.

He said: "I won't be showing anyone if they're getting the best of me."
