7PS: My Heavyweight Mistake πŸ₯Š

by | May 4, 2025

Read time: 1 minute, 389 words.

In 2015, I met heavyweight champ Evander Holyfield on a flight.
​
We struck up a conversation about boxing.
​
I mentioned I was producing an album by my friend Ted Nash.
​
It featured a speech by Nelson Mandela who had a boxing background.
​
Holyfield agreed to read Mandela’s speech for the album.
​
​The New Yorker featured the recording session in Talk of the Town.
​
But the track never made it onto the album.
​
I forgot to get Holyfield to sign the release form. πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ
​
Rookie mistake.
​
By the time we wrapped the album, his manager had changed.
​
Holyfield was traveling.
​
And I was on military assignment.
​
The opportunity slipped away.
​
The moral of the story: do the paperwork up front.
