Evander Holyfield, at the age of 46, will seek to win back a major heavyweight title when he fights Russian giant Nikolai Valuev for the World Boxing Association crown next month.
The fight will take place December 20 in the Hallenstadion in Zurich, Switzerland.
Holyfield has not fought since losing an unanimous decision to then-WBO champs Sultan Ibragimov a year ago.
Holyfield, who is based in Atlanta, USA, has a record of 49 fights, nine defeats and two draws.
