Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield’s $10 million home in the Atlanta suburbs has been foreclosed on. The former Boxing Heavyweight Champion of the World has fallen on tough times at the age of 45, heralded by an advertisement in his local newspaper published this past Wednesday that told his estate - located on Evander Holyfield highway no less - will be auctioned off “at public outcry to the highest bidder for cash” at the Fayette County, Georgia courthouse July 1st.
Add to his mortgage troubles a mother of one of his children suing the boxer for child support and Utah based consulting company taking him to court under claims he failed to pay a half million dollar landscaping bill and it’s no wonder why Holyfield has been pining to make a comeback bid in the ring recently.
