The 43-year-old Holyfield announced Thursday during a press conference in Dallas that he'll return to the ring there on Aug. 18 against journeyman Jeremy Bates.
Holyfield reiterated Thursday that it is still his goal to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world again, a title he hasn't held in more than 12 years.
"I actually believe I can whoop anybody," Holyfield said. "I'm going to prove I'm the same guy that used to get $20 million because I'm hoping someday to get a $100 million fight."
Atlanta's Holyfield has been cleared to fight in Texas after passing all of the Texas Gaming & Boxing Commission's medical tests.

Some people will say oh this is a impossible fight to call.
To that I say bullfeathers.
This is the fight to win some cash.
I smell money and it smells green.
