Personal
Holt had a very tough up-bringing in Paterson, NJ. He was raised by his father after a difficult childhood, which culminated with his mother Debra Holt being convicted of killing a homeless man, dubbed as a "Thrill Killing", during an evening of senseless violence and crime. This was discussed as a feature on Holt's Showtime Championship Boxing bout with Timothy Bradley on April 4, 2009. Holt was taken from his father while he was young due to child abuse, and was put into foster care.
