Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield’s Georgia estate is under foreclosure and set to be auctioned off on July 1, according to a legal notice in a local newspaper.

The lavish home, worth an estimated $10 million, is a 109-room, 54,000-square-foot estate on 235 acres outside of Atlanta. One of the largest homes in the Southeast, it includes 11 bedrooms, 17 bathrooms, a bowling alley, Olympic-size pool and a stable stocked with a half-dozen horses.

Apparently experiencing financial difficulties, Holyfield has missed two child support payments to the mother of one of his nine children. 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.

Holyfield joins a growing list of celebrities who’s homes are in foreclosure.

The 45-year-old Holyfield has declined to comment.

times are hard
