58 year old Evander Holyfield in his first fight in 10 years gets dropped and TKO’d by Vitor Belfort in the first round. Who didn’t see this coming #TrillerFightClub x.com/ComixDepartmen…
Evander Holyfield is turning 59 years old next month. He hasn’t fought in 10 years. He wasn’t scheduled to fight as of two weeks ago. Whoever sanctioned this should be arrested. x.com/ComixDepartmen…
If you are wondering why Evander Holyfield is still fighting at 58, a reminder that he has 11 children from 6 women. Nothing drains money in America than multiple divorces & child support payments. He'll probably fight till he dies, no jokes.
With just 10 seconds left in the very first round, the referee called a stop to the contest. Evander ‘The Real Deal’ Holyfield fell to the floor twice in the very first round. The first fall counted as a slip, but the second fall was a knockdown. Vitor connected flush with an uppercut to send Holyfield to the floor.
Damn, Vitor Belfort just annihilated Evander Holyfield in the opening round. Evander should've never taken this fight. #HolyfieldBelfort #TrillerFightClub x.com/effdmca/status…
I know I’m not the first to say but it’s fucked up the commission they ever let 58 year old Evander Holyfield fight TRT Vitor
Vitor Belfort just completely destroyed Evander Holyfield. Fight should have never been sanctioned. #boxing
#Boxing is a joke at this point smh. People won’t watch guys like Errol Spence Jr and Terence Crawford fight, but they’ll give Jake Paul $25 million, and put 58-year-old Evander Holyfield on PPV.🤦♂️
Belfort and Triller head @RyanKavanaugh say they'll offer @jakepaul the fight for "$25 million, winner take all." #HolyfieldBelfort
Evander Holyfield, a month shy of his 59th birthday, being allowed to fight is shameful. Triller went commission shopping. California said no, Florida, which has no real rules, said yes. Now a man approaching senior citizen status will have his head targeted. Awful.
Evander Holyfield is a legend but that fight should never have been sanctioned
Can we stop having fighter like Chuck Liddell and Evander Holyfield fight please l. Both show super obvious signs of brain damage when they do something as simple as hit mitts.
Mike Tyson might legitimately kill Evander Holyfield if they fought again. There’s no way Holyfield should have been allowed to fight tonight in the first place.
As much as we can say things about Titos world views and how he handles himself.. Triller should be ashamed he was allowed to fight And they are following it up with a 60 yr old Evander Holyfield fighting.. Complete Circus #HolyfieldBelfort #Triller
Evander Holyfield: "The guy pushed me, the guy is strong. I wasn't hurt. There wasn't no shot that hurt me real bad. He got me with a shot, I was off-balance. I'm not hurt. It's kind of sad. It was a bad call, he shouldn’t have stopped the fight that quick." Kind of sad indeed.
Evander Holyfield’s body looks like he’ll demolish you in a fight. His face says he needs warm milk and a nap.
this is awful, how can evander holyfield be allowed to fight, this needs to be stopped.
Holyfield fans and boxing fans alike expressed their concerns for Holyfield before the fight itself. Many called the Florida State Commission out for licensing Holyfield to fight at age 58.
After Oscar ‘The Golden Boy’ De La Hoya pulled out of the fight, Holyfield replaced him with less than a week to go. Triller also shifted the entire card to Florida, since the California State Athletic Commission did not give Holyfield a license to fight, citing his diminished skills and old age.
Another week in the wacky world of boxing concludes and Father Time remains undefeated.Vitor Belfort pummels 58-yr. old All Time great Evander Holyfield in less than 2-minutes and immediately calls out Jake Paul. $30 mill- winner take all. This is boxing. #HolyfieldBelfort
58-year-old Evander Holyfield floored and stopped inside the first round by Vitor Belfort. Not pleasant to watch.
I love Evander Holyfield, champion, legend, HOF but man that was sad to watch. Vitor Belfort congrats but calling out Canelo.... I don't know about all that. I missed 80's boxing but man I miss 90's boxing.
Holyfield would have destroyed this guy in 30 seconds in his prime. Should be embarrassed celebrating like that! #HolyfieldBelfort x.com/JoshtheZoomer/…
This hurts my soul... we shouldn't have seen a 58 year old Holyfield in the ring. Would definitely rather it have been Oscar lol. #HolyfieldBelfort
This is essentially elder abuse Belfort by KO in the first 💰 #HolyfieldBelfort x.com/ComixDepartmen…
In the post-fight interview, Evander Holyfield claimed that the referee stopped the fight early and that ‘The Phenom’ Vitor Belfort did not hurt him. However, this was probably the last time we watched Evander Holyfield fight in the ring. Surely after tonight’s fight, none of the other Athletic Commissions will license a 58-year-old to fight.
Holyfield, on the other hand, does not feel the same way and even said he would have no problem fighting ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson in an exhibition fight.
What’s next for Vitor Belfort?
Vitor Belfort immediately called out Jake ‘The Problem Child’ Paul after his first-round win against Evander Holyfield. He offered him a $25 million winner take all fight.

Jake Paul, on his own winning streak after defeating Tyron ‘The Chosen One’ Woodley last month, is looking for a sterner challenger in the boxing ring. As Vitor Belfort is a prolific striker and has always openly expressed his hate for the Paul brothers and challenged both of them to a fight in the past, it makes sense for the pair to collide.
Would you want to watch Vitor Belfort fight Jake Paul?
