Evander Holyfield's mansion faced foreclosure

Former boxing champion Evander Holyfield is moving out of his palatial Fayette County estate after it was sold in June 2012 as a foreclosure.

According to a New York Times article in 2005, the home has 11 bedrooms, 17 bathrooms, a bowling alley, a movie theater, huge exercise rooms and a dining room with a table large enough to accommodate 32 upholstered chairs.

Holyfield takes a brief moment to catch a glimpse of the fight that was recorded for him in 1996.

In 2002 at the mansion, U.S. Rep. David Scott and former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young are among the last remaining guests at a campaign fund-raiser benefitting Scott.

The formal dining room in 2005 was awash in gold and burgundy colors for the holiday season.
