Evander Holyfield vs Vitor Belfort: Age, Height, Weight, Reach, Networth, Record, and More

Vitor Belfort will welcome Evander Holyfield to the boxing ring on September 11 in a Triller main event at the Hardrock Seminole Hotel and Café in Hollywood, USA. Coming in as a sudden replacement, Holyfield will relinquish a hiatus of 10 years to lock horns against the former UFC elite. That said, ‘The Real Deal’ is a substitute for Oscar De La Hoya and can offer more threat to Belfort’s boxing dreams.

De La Hoya was comparably smaller than Belfort, but Holyfield will take away any size disparity. Hence, the upcoming event can produce an intriguing collision. Meanwhile, UFC star Belfort can see a tough time against one of the greatest boxers ever. Despite his impeccable success in the octagon, the boxing ring will clearly flaunt several unknown features.

As Holyfield is still in shape, it can still be demanding to outwork the two-division boxing great. However, Belfort seemed to have a successful camp for De La Hoya and all of it can benefit him on the fight night. Meanwhile, several other factors can influence the fight. Here’s a look at the stats that define both men.
