HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- Evander Holyfield, months shy of his 59th birthday, was stopped on his feet by former UFC champion Vitor Belfort just 1 minute, 49 seconds into the opening round on Saturday at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
Belfort, 44, swarmed Holyfield from the opening bell and never let up in Triller Fight Club main event, as former President Donald Trump watched on from the commentary booth. Holyfield, the former heavyweight champion and one of boxing's all-time greats, showed no resistance at all in his first fight since 2011.
A flurry of punches sent Holyfield to the canvas and after he beat the count, Belfort let his hands go until the ref wisely stopped it, saving Holyfield from further punishment.
