BREAKING: Oscar De la Hoya vs Vitor Belfort Boxing Exhibition Agreed for September 18

Former multi-division titleholder and 1992 Olympic Gold medalist Oscar De La Hoya has been teasing a comeback since March. It is now official.

‘The Golden Boy’ will officially end a near 13-year-long hiatus from the squared circle as he takes on UFC legend, Vitor Belfort.

The Triller exhibition bout is likely to happen in Las Vegas on September 18th. The fighters have agreed to face each other with either 10-ounce or 12-ounce gloves. The bout is set for 8 rounds of 2 minutes each.

De La Hoya and Belfort have also agreed upon weighing in on 175 and 190 pounds, respectively.

In 45 professional fights, De La Hoya has competed in 6 different weight classes. This fight sees him weighing in at the light heavyweight limit, a first for the former champion.

He last fought against Manny Pacquiao, who stopped him by the eighth round and retired from the sport 4 months following that loss. He subsequently set up a number of ventures outside the ring. However, his desire to compete inside the ring has been clear in his social media posts for the past few months.

After a stunning career in MMA under the UFC banner, the 44-year-old Vitor Belfort has had his sights set on pro-boxing. He was supposed to fight internet sensation, Mike Holston, on the June 19th Triller card.

However, since the title fight was canceled, the entire card was postponed to August 14th. The status of the Belfort-Holston fight is yet to be revealed.
