Evander Holyfield’s fight with Belfort will be the first time the 58-year-old has competed in a squared circle in over a decade. Holyfield had decided to step up to the fight to take on the Brazilian fighter on short notice after boxing veteran Oscar De La Hoya dropped out of the contest. He tested positive for COVID-19 and had to be hospitalized for three days. The event will also feature another huge boxing match between former UFC champions Anderson Silva and Tito Ortiz.
