Former boxing champion Acelino Freitas calls out Vitor Belfort for openweight fight

After taking on popular Brazilian comedian Whindersson Nunes in an exhibition bout at Fight Music Show, Brazil’s successful celebrity boxing event, former WBO and WBA super featherweight and lightweight champion Acelino Freitas was left itching for more.

Shortly after the fight, ‘Popo’ even called out someone his own size, former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo. However, Acelino now has challenged a much bigger athlete in former UFC light heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort.

In an interview with Ag Fight, Freitas explained he wishes to take on the ‘Phenom’ and does not care about the size difference.
