Former heavyweight champions Evander Holyfield and Hasim Rahman will meet in the ring on 1 June.

The bout will take place at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, the first time Don King has promoted a fight in the city since 1998.

Both fighters are former world champions and are ranked among the top 10 heavyweights by both the WBC and WBA.

Rahman lost his WBC and IBF titles in November last year when he was knocked out in the fourth round by Lennox Lewis.

Holyfield failed to regain the WBA title when he was involved in a controversial draw with John Ruiz in December.

Holyfield, now 39, has won 37 of his 44 fights, 25 of his victories coming by way of knockout, while Rahman has 29 KOs and just three defeats to his name.
