Awkward!
An NBC Interviewer was asking people outside of Buckingham Palace what they thought about the opening ceremony.
One of those people was former heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield.
The interviewer apparently didn’t recognize Holyfield and referred only to him as a “tourist.”
The network even employs Holyfield as a pundit sometimes, but he still wasn’t recognized.
The interviewer must not have been a boxing fan.
Holyfield, being a great sport, tweeted:

Ha!
He was a really good sport about it!
It must’ve been a little embarrassing so we’re glad he handled it so well!
Way to be a good sport, Evander!
