Over 500 items from his life will be sold in a November auction.  Rolex, Patek Phillippe and Cartier watches, furniture and his cherished 1962 Chevy Corvette will be among the items sold.

Holyfield will also auction off items such as his championship rings, belts, robes and boxing trunks. The champ is also putting up the boxing gloves from his famed 1997 “Bite Fight,” the famous heavyweight bout in which Mike Tyson (pictured left) bit off a piece of his right ear in the third round.

Holyfield, who has made a reported $250 million during his career, was evicted from his 109-room Georgia mansion. It later sold for a paltry $7.5 million in a foreclosure auction.

He owed more than $14 million on the home. Holyfield also has baby momma drama with eleven children. He owes in excess of $372,000 in back child support. There are also delinquent IRS debts that the 50-year-old also has to contend with and a $500,000 lawsuit stemming from a 2008 landscaping bill.
