<i> From Times wire services</i>

Former heavyweight champion George Foreman will continue his comeback next month at the London Arena, a British promoter said today.

Foreman, 42, who has won 22 consecutive bouts since coming out of retirement in 1987, will fight a scheduled 10-rounder against either Argentine champion Walter Masseroni or American Lee Roy Murphy, a former International Boxing Federation cruiserweight champion.

Promoter Frank Warren would not say how much he will pay Foreman for the Sept. 25 bout, but said it was “an awful lot of money.”
