After a long period of signing a contract with ONE Championship but without a match, the UFC legend once Vitor Belfort was a contract to release the contract.
Realizing that the friendly trend was made by Triller, Belfort decided to switch to Boxing and compete with Youtuber Tarzann. The original event was expected to take place on June 20 in Vietnam before being moved for Covid-19.
However, not only that, Vitor Belfort also agreed to match the Oscar de La Hoya, who was looking for the opponent for the match again.
Oscar de la Hoya initially expected to compete with Eddie Alvarez but the American boxer refused, then he targeted Georges St Pierre but was made difficult by UFC President Dana White. Vitor Belfort is probably the best choice for De La Hoya now.
Besides Oscar de la Hoya, Belfort also targets another Boxing legend – Evander Holyfield.
“This war with me and Oscar is the biggest battle now,” Belfort said. “This battle will sell tickets as Muhammad Ali and George Foreman. But after September, I will fight Evander Holyfield in December. Organizing the biggest matches possible, that's all Triller company aiming for.”
Vitor Belfort gradually stepped on the boxing ring in 2006 in his hometown Brazil. His opponent is Josemario Neves. It was also the only boxing match in Belfort's career so far.
On the side of Evander Holyfield, he will have a match back with Kevin McBride – the end of Mike Tyson's career – on August 14.
