Legacy and generation. Again and again, former UFC champion Vitor Belfort used those words to describe the inspiration and the appeal of a Triller pay-per-view headliner with former boxing champ Oscar De La Hoya.
On Sept. 11 at Staples Center, Belfort said the spotlight will be on fighters who paved the way for others, and the audience is generations of fight fans who’ve seen them go from young lions to young dinosaurs. Don’t confuse what Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul did with what he and De La Hoya are doing, instructed “The Phenom.”
“I’m looking to fight the best guys,” Belfort told reporters before taking the stage for a press conference in support of the boxing match.
