Evander Holyfield Ducks Foreclosure Punch.. for Now

Evander Holyfield was prominently mentioned as part of a recent celebrity foreclosure blog post, which listed the latest, greatest celebrities to be at risk of foreclosure. It looks like Evander, in true heavyweight boxing fashion, ducked the threat of losing his sprawling Fayetteville, GA, mansion to a July 1 auction date when he came up with the money for child support and, evidently, a mortgage payment.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

Holyfield’s financial problems came to light when a legal notice in a small suburban newspaper said his 54,000-square-foot home — which has 109 rooms, including 17 bathrooms, three kitchens and a bowling alley — would be auctioned off because he had defaulted on a $10 million loan.

But the lender, Washington Mutual Bank, pulled the home from its auction list after an apparent settlement was reached. The bank said it was barred by privacy laws from commenting on Holyfield’s case.

What? No boxing ring in the house?
