Triller Fight Club Holyfield VS Belfort Recap

58-year-old Evander Holyfield stepped back into the boxing ring on Saturday night, taking on former UFC light heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort in the main event of a Triller Fight Club pay-per-view. Holyfield was off-balance with his early power punches, missing on one wild shot that caused him to spin around and fall to the ropes. After Holyfield got back to his feet, Belfort walked him down, landing a hook and an uppercut that sent Holyfield stumbling backward before hitting the canvas.

Holyfield managed to beat the count but Belfort continued his offensive attack. As the punches continued to land and Holyfield was forced to just cover up until the referee was forced to jump in and stop the fight at the 1:49 mark of Round 1.

"The guy is strong but I wasn't hurt," Holyfield said of the stoppage. "The thing is, it wasn't no shot that really hurt me bad. He hit me with a shot and I was off balance. I'm not hurt. I'm not. It's kind of sad. It is what it is."

Belfort's post fight "We've got $25 million dollars," Belfort said. "Hey, Jake Paul, stop running from me, man. You can be my kid."

Triller CEO Ryan Kavanaugh then pumped the offer up to $30 million.
