(ATLANTA) -- Four-time World Heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield has reportedly saved his massive metro Atlanta mansion from foreclosure.

Holyfield's Buffalo, NY-based agent tells 11Alive's sister station, WGRZ, that the former champ has worked out an agreement with mortgage holder JP Morgan Chase & Company.

This agreement gives Holyfield until August 4th to pay the back debt on the 54,000 square foot home. It was set to be auctioned on July 7th.

Holyfield's agent says his client is working on several projects right now including a comeback fight. Agent Jerry Schaffer says the details on that should be announced in the next 60 days.

This is really sad for a man who gave his heart and soul to boxing.I cant stand to see Holyfield fighting at this stag in his life just because he needs money.Many of the people he's fighting wouldnt really fight him when he was at his peak.

Life needs to be managed

Holyfield's house is so damn big he should've been putting it to work. I would've been introducing high rollers to that place like it was a girlfriend to rent.

Tell him to get to work..

Go to conventions do some signings, do some appearances, he won't be able to live in that house forever let alone another 6 months.

Why doesn't ***** bail him out? Holyfield is a living legend.
