“I love great fighters and great fights. I look forward to seeing both this Saturday night and sharing my thoughts on the side. You don’t want to miss this special event.

The main Triller card event is the first supposed return of 1992 Olympic gold medalist and 11-time world champion in six weight classes, Oscar De La Hoya. The fight was transformed from an exhibition to a professional fight at the insistence of the 48-year-old.

However, Evander Holyfield helped on short notice after De La Hoya withdrew due to contracting COVID-19. The only man to have won the world heavyweight title four times, Holyfield was 59 in October and has not fought since 2011. In fact, Evander Holyfield was banned from fighting in New York for ‘not good performance and reduced skills’ in 2004.

The Californiaian State Athletic Commission (CSAC) has refused to punish the fight between Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belfort, the latest in a series of celebrity boxing bouts. The match was moved from the Los Angeles Staples Center to Florida.

Evander Holyfield was confident to point to Vitor Belfort in a boxing match despite the time he was away from the ring. Holyfield recently told MMA Fighting:

The thing is, I have more experience in boxing. The truth of the matter is I’m going to have a problem if I do MMA, because that’s not what I do. But I knew I was boxing and I took good care of myself. Actually, I’m going there with an MMA guy, and yes, he does some things right. He knows how to throw punches and he can deliver hard shots, but I can still do something.
