Evander Holyfield’s current wife Candi Calvana Smith (he has had two failed marriages in the past) filed for a temporary protective order against him after he allegedly struck her in the face.
The argument she said started on February 1st in the early morning over the temperature in the couple’s home (seriously). Radaronline has more details:
In the court papers Candi Holyfield alleges that her famous husband got into a fight with her after she complained that it was too cold in the middle of the night at their massive Georgia mansion on Feb 1 at 4:45 am.
Candi alleges that Holyfield hit her in the face on the back of the head twice and on her back also.
Candi also claims that Holyfield has hurt her before and that he has been violent in the presence of their children.
After this happened Mrs. Calvana says that Holyfield left to go to the Super Bowl which I can confirm because I saw him at several red carpet events.
Holyfield while claiming to be a very religious man has several children by several different women. My favored story in regards to that is when he had both his wife and mistress pregnant at the same time. He has been in several child support disputes and almost lost his mansion a few times.
They are both due in court on February 18th . There aren’t criminal charges pending.
