“The Florida Athletic Commission has approved the Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort bout as a fully regulated professional boxing match. It will be conducted under the Unified Rules of Boxing and scored by three judges on the 10-point must system,” a statement from a press release reads on the Triller Fight Club website.
Oscar De La Hoya vs. Vitor Belfort had initially been advertised as an exhibition when it was first announced back in June. But those plans quickly changed to a fully regulated pro bout. It was one of the things that had fans and pundits feeling so uncomfortable about the switch from De La Hoya to Holyfield.
