It appears that the next leg of Vitor Belfort’s foray into boxing has been found. The former UFC 12 tournament champion, UFC light heavyweight champion, and multiple time title contender left the Octagon back in 2018 having made known his intentions to retire from MMA.
A contract deal with ONE Championship followed shortly afterward, but failed to produce a return to competition before Belfort parted ways with the promotion. Instead, the years since have seen the ‘Phenom’ turn his attention to a budding boxing career.
The Brazilian first tried his hand in the ring way back in 2006, picking up a quick KO win in the process.
