Boxing champ Evander Holyfield's son, Ewin, has come to the defense of his father.
The 51-year-old Evander found himself in hot water after he compared being gay to a physical handicap that can – and should – be fixed and stated that being gay is a choice during a recent episode of the reality show Celebrity Big Brother UK.
Producers chided Evander and response on Twitter included calls for his ouster from the house.

“My dad is the most loving and caring person you will ever meet,” Ewin told TMZ.com. “He treats everyone like a human being … even if they are homosexual.”
Ewin said that his father treats one of his uncles who is gay like a brother.
“My dad feels that being gay is a choice … and naturally that's how things work,” Ewin added. “You cannot procreate and make a baby with two women, or two men. But at the same time my dad is not going to judge someone for their sexual orientation.”
