Before Mayweather had Bieber … Evander Holyfield says he had a music superstar sidekick of his own … MC Hammer!!
Holyfield tells TMZ Sports he brought the “U Can’t Touch This” rapper to the ring with him when he beat Riddick Bowe in Vegas back in 1993 … after losing to Bowe in their previous bout.
But while Evander says his celeb tagalong wasn’t exactly a “lucky charm” — he seems to be saying that Hammer affected the energy going into the fight … which might’ve given him a boost he didn’t have the first time around.
As Holyfield put it — Hammer helped to “bring a new shake into the game.”
