The legendary Oscar De La Hoya was previously slated to return to the ring after nearly 13 years against former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) champion, Vitor Belfort, but a breakthrough case of COVID knocked “The Golden Boy” off the card late last week. Instead, Ryan Kavanaugh and Co. enlisted Cruiserweight and Heavyweight legend, Evander Holyfield, who’s made multiple attempts to re-enter the ring under Triller’s banner these last couple years.
In the co-feature, two more UFC greats lock horns as Tito Ortiz makes his professional boxing debut against Anderson Silva, last seen upsetting Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. One fight prior, one-time unified Cruiserweight champion, David Haye, takes on 38-year-old businessman Joe Fournier, while Andy Vences takes on Jono Carroll in the evening’s sole meaningful boxing match.

Heavyweight: Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort
Boxing legend Evander Holyfield is back in the ring for the first time in a decade when he faces mixed martial arts great Vitor Belfort on Sunday.
Holyfield — who famously had his ear bitten by Mike Tyson – will face 44-year-old Belfort just one month before his 59th birthday.
Belfort was set to face another boxing legend in Oscar De La Hoya, only for 48-year-old De La Hoya to be hospitalised with Covid-19 a week ago.
The event is labelled Triller Fight Club “Legends 2”, following the success of Mike Tyson’s own return to the ring last year.
