Evander Holyfield vs. Riddick Bowe was a professional boxing match that took place on November 13, 1992, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

[3] Eventually, Bowe landed a number-one contender match with Pierre Coetzer, which he won by seventh round technical knockout, earning the right to challenge Holyfield for his undisputed heavyweight championship.

Holyfield went on to face criticism for taking the title from an uninterested Douglas and then defending it against two past-their-prime fighters in Foreman and Holmes, while also nearly getting knocked out by the journeyman Cooper.

As a result, some in the boxing world looked at Holyfield's match with Bowe as a way for the champion to legitimize his reign and earn the respect of his doubters despite already holding the undisputed title for two years.

Bowe was able to withstand Holyfield's offense throughout the round and won all three judge's scorecards by scores of 117–110, 117–110 and 115–112 giving him a unanimous decision victory.

Only a month later, Bowe would vacate his WBC Heavyweight Championship after refusing to fight number one contender Lennox Lewis after the two sides couldn't agree on a split for the fight's $32 million purse, and as a result, this marked the last time that the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship was contested for six years and four months until Lewis and Holyfield met in 1999.
