Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield will box Nov. 5 at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, the Detroit News reported Wednesday.

Holyfield, who will turn 48 before the bout, will be matched up with Sherman "The Tank" Williams.

Williams is 34-11-2 with 19 knockouts. This will be the 37-year-old's biggest fight considering he has fought a list of no-name boxers.

Holyfield, who's 43-10-2 with 28 knockouts, knocked out Francois Botha in April in his first fight since Decemeber 2008. He had lost five of his previous nine fights before the victory.
