Belfort humbles Holyfield
Print Edition
Former heavyweight world champion Evander Holyfield looked all of his 58 years in a first-round technical knockout loss to mixed martial arts star Vitor Belfort on Saturday. With former US president Donald Trump providing ringside commentary for the spectacle at Seminole Hard Rock casino in Hollywood, Florida, Brazil’s Belfort unleashed an early flurry that ended with Holyfield slipping through the ropes. The American ring great regained his feet only to be sent to the canvas by a combination from Belfort. He beat the count, but after he absorbed another flurry of blows without throwing any the referee stopped the fight. Holyfield was fighting for the first time since he defeated Brian Nielsen in 2011 to cap a glorious ring career. Holyfield (44-10), with two draws and 29 knockouts, accepted the Belfort fight on eight days’ notice after Oscar De La Hoya tested positive for COVID-19.
