Vitor Belfort will take on Evander Holyfield this weekend in Florida

De Le Hoya looked set to follow legends Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather by returning to the ring in recent months before his unfortunate diagnosis.

But Holyfield, 58, will get that chance instead, with the event being moved to Florida, as the California State Athletic Commission refused to license ‘The Real Deal’.

  • This contest is all set for Saturday, September 11.
  • It will take place in the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Florida.
  • The fight is set for eight rounds of three minutes.

What they said

Holyfield has previously spoken of his dream to return to boxing, and now he’ll get his chance against Belfort.

“Where an opportunity is available, I like to make the best out of what I have. I believe if I fought Mike [Tyson] the fight will generate $200million,” he told SunSport back in May.

“It will be the biggest fight there is. That’s the honest truth. I think Mike has my message already. If he is going to do it he is, if not then he’s not.

“It’s a decision he has to make now and we both have to be in an agreement.”

Before the De La Hoya fight was cancelled, Belfort had been planning for a clash with Holyfield in December, but will get that opportunity three months early.

“After September, December is me vs Holyfield. Get ready for the crossover!” He said.

We are taking over, Triller is bringing the fights. A huge dream.”
