The 58-year-old stepped in as a late replacement, filling in for Oscar De La Hoya who tested positive for COVID-19 and was forced to pull out of the fight against Belfort. The fight was originally scheduled to take place in Los Angeles, but it was moved to Florida after De La Hoya tested positive for COVID-19 and was replaced by Holyfield.
This is the first time Holyfield will compete in 10 years. The last time he fought was in 2011 when he defeated Brian Nielsen via TKO.
