Many of you were probably as befuddled as I was when 58-year-old Evander Holyfield agreed to step in to replace the COVID-stricken Oscar De La Hoya and fight Vitor Belfort. The pair will meet in the center of the ring this Saturday as part of Triller Fight Club’s event in Florida.
The card was originally slated to take place in California, but the State Athletic Commission refused to license Holyfield because of his age. His age has also become a cause for concern, and understandably so.
“The Real Deal,” however, doesn’t seem to be worried.
