Evander Holyfield is set to return to the boxing ring on Saturday night when the 58-year-old heavyweight legend takes on former UFC Champion Vitor Belfort in the Hollywood pay-per-view main event, in Florida. Belfort was originally scheduled to face Oscar De La Hoya in De La Hoya’s comeback fight, but Holyfield stepped in when “The Golden Boy” tested positive for COVID-19.
The fight has been moved from California to Florida where Holyfield has been medically cleared for the event, although it has not been confirmed whether the fight with Belfort will be an exhibition or a professional competition. Holyfield has until the bell hour to decide the status of the fight.
The fight featured on the undercard is a fight between former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva and former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz. The fight is Ortiz’s debut in professional boxing while Silva is 2-1, including a win earlier this year over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
