Boxing legend and former heavyweight champion Larry Holmes has gone a little off the grid lately but popped again very recently.
Holmes is known to have one of the best jabs in the history of the entire sport.
When he speaks, as rare as it is, people listen, obviously, he popped up on Instagram for his wife Dianne’s birthday recently which got a big reaction from fans when he said to her:
“You’re the heart of our home, the calm in the chaos, and the woman who keeps us all fighting strong. Your love, loyalty, and light inspire me every single day.
Here’s to celebrating the incredible woman you are. Happy Birthday Diane! Love you forever.”
Good man Holmes, class act.
The 75-year-old was once dubbed the ‘Easton Assassin’. Despite being a hitman in his fight career, one of the good guys of boxing outside of the ring.
Some consider him as one of the greatest heavyweights that ever lived.
