Evander Holyfield gets evicted from 'Celebrity Big Brother'

Evander Holyfield has been evicted from the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house moments after viewers watched him admit to punching a horse.

Fellow housemates Lee Ryan and Casey Batchelor chose to evict the 51-year-old former heavyweight boxer over Luisa Zissman, the Mirror reported.

It seemed to be an easy decision for the pair with Ryan saying that he knew Zissman before going into the house, so he would stick with saving her.

In an earlier conversation with Liz Jones and Zissman, Holyfield had made the controversial comment of punching a horse after falling off.

Jones, who had previously said that she hated people who hit animals, looked back at him in shock.
