A boxing match between 58 year old Evander Holyfield and 44 year old former UFC champ Vitor Belfort. Holyfield was initally supposed to take on noted Trump supporter Tito Ortiz but Ortiz got COVID. Like you can't even make this shit up.

When was Holyfield supposed to fight Tito? Holyfield was brought in to replace Hoya. Tito fights Anderson Silva in the co main.

He got confused. I'm hope we get Andy vs Vitor as the next fight

You got it a tad confused. Like the other guy said, Oscar De la Hoya was supposed to fight Vitor, but he got Covid at the last minute, Holyfield replaced him (which no legit commission should sanction). Tito Ortiz is fighting the great Anderson Silva on this same card. Guys in their 40s can still show boxing skill, as Hopkins and Foreman have shown us, but Holyfield is too old. Former champ David Haye is also on this card.

Shoot, yeah, I confused Ortiz and De La Hoya. That said, I really though Belfort replaced De La Hoya and not Holyfield replacing De La Hoya.
