Evander Holyfield's Fayette County Mansion Under Foreclosure

Posted: 9:02 am EDT June 5, 2008Updated: 4:18 pm EDT June 11, 2008

Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield appears to be having financial problems.

A legal notice that appeared in a local newspaper shows his Fayette County estate is under foreclosure. The 104-room, 54,000-square-foot home worth an estimated $10 million is set to be auctioned by a bank on July 1.

The mother of one of Holyfield's nine children says he has missed two child-support payments. Toi Irvin, who lives in Clayton County, filed a petition for contempt in Fayette County Superior Court on behalf of her 10-year-old son.

Irvin says she was told by Holyfield's representatives not to expect the payment for May and June totaling $6,000.

  • "It wasn't so much that he didn't pay," Irvin's attorney, Randy Kessler told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "She was told they didn't know if she would be paid at all."

    The 45-year-old Holyfield has declined comment on the child-support allegations and the foreclosure.

    Holyfield last fought on Oct. 13, 2007. He has been trying to secure another heavyweight championship.
