Former cruiserweight and heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield faces former UFC light heavyweight champ Vitor Belfort in an eight-round boxing match at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida (Triller Fight Club PPV, 7 p.m. ET).
Holyfield (44-10-2, 29 KOs), of Atlanta, is 58 years old and hasn’t fought since defeating Brian Nielsen by 10th-round TKO in May 2011. The last time Holyfield held a major heavyweight title was in 2000, after defeating John Ruiz for the vacant WBA belt.
Holyfield is replacing Oscar De La Hoya, who was scheduled to face Belfort before testing positive for COVID-19 less than two weeks before the fight.
