The "Real Deal" is returning.

Former four-time heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, 43, is coming back from a 21-month layoff to face journeyman Jeremy Bates in a 10-round bout Aug. 19 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

"I'm very excited about it," Holyfield told ESPN.com on Wednesday. "Being able to finish what I've started means a lot. I was sidetracked lately, but I am getting back on the path."

A news conference to announce the fight is scheduled for Thursday afternoon at the American Airlines Center, event organizer Lester Bedford said.

Holyfield (38-8-2, 25 KOs) has lost three in a row and is 2-5-1 in his last eight fights. He hasn't fought since dropping a lopsided unanimous decision to Larry Donald on Nov. 13, 2004, in New York.

Wow, he's getting old. He should fight Stallone in the new Rocky.

Is there any hope of this story actually having a happy ending?

Only if there's a masseuse involved.

He's got about 8 wives to support so i don't blame him. Plus he's religious so he must be doing it for the right reasons :roll:

Why don't we bring back Bruno, while we're at it. Last I heard, he was going loopy.
