EVANDER HOLYFIELD RETURNS TO THE RING AT 58 AGAINST FORMER UFC CHAMPION VITOR BELFORT IN AN EIGHT-ROUND PAY-PER-VIEW BOUT SATURDAY IN HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA.

***

EVANDER HOLYFIELD (44-10-2, 29 KOs)
VS. VITOR BELFORT (1-0, 1 KOs)

Date: Saturday, Sept. 11
Time: 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT (featured fights)
Where: Seminole Hard Rock, Hollywood, Fla.
TV/Stream: Pay-per-view
Cost: $49.99
Division: Heavyweight (eight two-minute rounds)
At stake: No titles
Pound-for-pound ranking: None
Odds: Holyfield 1½-1 favorite (average of multiple outlets)

Also on the card: Andy Vences vs. Jono Carroll, junior lightweights; Anderson Silva vs. Tito Ortiz, cruiserweights
Prediction: Holyfield KO 7

Background: Oscar De La Hoya, 48, was scheduled to fight Vitor Belfort in Los Angeles but had to pull out after testing positive for COVID-19. In stepped 58-year-old former heavyweight champ Evander Holyfield, who has been angling for a comeback fight over the past few years and was targeted by Belfort. Holyfield last fought in May 2011, when he stopped Brian Nielsen in 10 rounds. He was always known for his fitness but there is no telling how a man nearing his 59^th birthday will perform in the ring, even one of the best fighters of his generation. That said, he’ll have a distinct advantage over Belfort in terms of experience. The 44-year-old former UFC champion has taken part in one boxing match, a first-round knockout in 2006. And Holyfield presumably will be significant bigger than Belfort. Holyfield weighed 226 for the Nielsen fight. Belfort and De La Hoya had agreed to a 185-pound weight limit, although Belfort probably will come in well over 185 without restrictions. The fight was moved to Florida after California authorities refused to sanction the bout.

Video: Evander Holyfield explains why Mike Tyson was ‘the only reason’ he returned to boxing

Evander Holyfield hopes a bout against Mike Tyson can still come together after taking on Vitor Belfort on Sept. 11.

Triller Fight Club Legends II is set to go down on Saturday, and one-half of the headliner, former boxing champion [autotag]Evander Holyfield[/autotag], explained his motivation to return to the ring.

Holyfield will take on former UFC champion [autotag]Vitor Belfort[/autotag] in an eight-round boxing match on pay-per-view at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. Oscar De La Hoya was the original opponent for Belfort, however, after being hospitalized due to COVID-19, he was removed from the bout, and Holyfield stepped in as a replacement.

For the past couple of years, Holyfield was preparing for an exhibition bout against Mike Tyson, which he credits as the reason why he was prepared to step in and take the fight against Belfort on short notice, despite being 58 years old. Although negotiations have stalled, Holyfield still hopes the bout against Tyson comes to fruition.

“That’s the only reason I even came to the point of, ‘Hey, you want to do this?'” Holyfield told MMA Junkie when asked if the fight against Tyson could still happen in the near future. “That’s the only reason. I knew that they were offering something that if I fought my whole career and I could make more money on a comeback than I made my whole career, then who wouldn’t take that chance?”
