Riddick Bowe vs. Evander Holyfield III
Riddick Bowe vs. Evander Holyfield III, billed as "The Final Chapter", was a professional boxing match contested on November 4, 1995. The non-title match marked the third and final fight in the Bowe–Holyfield trilogy.
==Background==
After the previous fight between the two in which Holyfield was able to regain the WBA, IBF and Lineal heavyweight titles by defeating Bowe via majority decision, Holyfield would face undefeated southpaw Michael Moorer in his first defense. Though Holyfield would knock Moorer down in the 2nd round, Moorer overcame and was able to earn the victory via majority decision. Holyfield retired shortly after the loss, citing a heart ailment that Holyfield later claimed was misdiagnosed. He returned to the ring in 1995 and defeated former contender Ray Mercer in his comeback fight.
Bowe, meanwhile, had fought four times since losing his title. In the first, against Buster Mathis, Jr., Bowe was handed a no-contest decision despite knocking Mathis down and then hitting him while he was down, which is normally grounds for a disqualification. After defeating Larry Donald, Bowe won the WBO Heavyweight Championship by knocking out Herbie Hide. After a successful defense of his tile against Jorge Luis González, Bowe and Holyfield would agree to a non-title rubber match set for November 4, 1995, two years after their previous fight. Holyfield did not want to challenge for the WBO title as he thought it would politically hinder his chances of gaining a match for the WBA, WBC and IBF titles.〔(Rubber Match: Will It Bounce? ), Philadelphia Inquirer article, 1995-07-27, Retrieved on 2013-08-05〕
