Alfredo Evangelista (born December 3, 1954) is a Uruguayan former professional boxer.

Boxing career

Evangelista started his career in 1975. He went undefeated in his first fifteen fights, One being a draw. In his sixteenth fight he was defeated by European Champion Lorenzo Zanon, and after the fight he was matched up with Muhammad Ali in a bout for the world heavyweight championship, losing by unanimous decision after 15 rounds.[1]

After these fights he had nine straight victories. He then fought against Larry Holmes for the World Boxing Council title in 1978, and lost by knockout in the seventh round.[2] Evangelista followed this up by three wins and a loss to Lorenzo Zanon in their rematch. He drew with Felipe Rodriguez.

He won seven fights before meeting and losing to Leon Spinks. He won six more, then drew with Felipe in their second fight. He took two wins before getting bested by Greg Page. Evangelista had a six-fight streak of no losses, with five wins and one draw piled in there. This streak ended at the hands of Lucien Rodriguez. He won four fights until Hughroy Currie overcame him. Evangelista then had a win streak of eight before getting beaten by Steffen Tangstad. Patrick Lumumba bested him after Evangelista pulled off two more wins. He won a fight before three straight losses, and after another win retired.

For the majority of his 13-year career, he was a journeyman who generally had streaks of wins followed by a couple of losses.
