ATLANTA — Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield denies that his home will be foreclosed, saying "Everything is all right with the house now."

A legal notice in a small local newspaper Wednesday said Holyfield's estate will be auctioned to the highest bidder for cash on July 1. The 54,000-square-foot home has 109 rooms, including 17 bathrooms, three kitchens and a bowling alley. The estate is valued at $10 million.

In The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Saturday, Holyfield said he's not broke — "I'm just not liquid."
