Former heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield has found himself in the middle of a whole different kind of fight.

Holyfield has made waves for a recent appearance on Britain’s ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ in which he told a housemate homosexuality could be fixed while making an unusual comparison to the problems handicapped people face.

Holyfield also said being gay is a choice, a comment sure to ruffle a few feathers.

The 51-year-old Holyfield, who was chastised for his remarks, was not booted from the house.
