The boxing victories earned by Vitor Belfort and Anderson Silva at a Triller Fight Club event this past Saturday will not count on either fighter’s professional record.

The Florida State Boxing Commission revealed on Monday that all bouts held at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., will be regarded as exhibitions. That notably includes Belfort’s stoppage of Evander Holyfield and Silva’s knockout of Tito Ortiz.
