The former World Heavyweight champion, who famously had his ear chewed off by Mike Tyson, has agreed to appear at the Premier Suite above Bar Sport in September. Bosses today hailed the booking as a 'massive coup'.

The announcement comes as the venue confirmed that an evening with Dean Saunders is still to take place despite his sacking from Wolves this month.

Holyfield, nicknamed The Real Deal, will give an after-dinner speech and be joined by fellow World Heavyweight Champion Tim Witherspoon.

The date and ticket details are yet to be announced.
