Evander Holyfield will face Fres Oquendo, who has twice for a heavyweight le, on Nov. 10 at the Alamodome in the latest bout of his long comeback.
In his last bout, Holyfield stopped Jeremy Bates in the second round on Aug. 18 in Dallas.
Before defeating Bates, Holyfield (39-8-2, 26 knockouts) had lost his previous three fights and hadn't fought anyone in nearly two years.
Oquendo, a Puerto Rican who fights out of Chicago, is 26-3 with 16 KOs. In February, he returned from a two-year layoff to stop Brazil's Daniel Bispo in the ninth round.
Oquendo, 33, won his first 22 fights and lost a controversial decision to Chris Byrd in 2003 for the IBF le. Oquendo also lost to WBA champion John Ruiz in 2004.
