After an enthralling win over ‘The Real Deal’ Evander Holyfield last weekend, Vitor Belfort has been calling out some of the biggest names of the sport. It seems that ‘The Phenom’ Belfort, who completely enjoyed his boxing appearance against the 58-year-old, wants more of it.

Now, he wants to test his prowess against the likes of Tyson Fury, Canelo Alvarez, and more hotshots. In his recent interview with MMA on SiriusXM, Belfort spoke about battling ‘The Gypsy King’ and the P4P king.

‘The Phenom’ said, “I’m ready, bring Tyson Fury, I fight him over 200, bring Canelo I fight him under 200. Let’s meet over there and bring legendary fights, where fans would dream about it. So that there’s no fear here.”

Although ‘The Phenom’ is calling out the likes of Fury and Alvarez, his prime focus is still on the YouTuber turned boxer, Jake Paul.

Right after his fight with Holyfield, the UFC legend called out ‘The Problem Child’ and offered him $30 million for their bout. However, the 24-year-old has been silent about the same and seems to be leaning towards a fight with Tommy Fury.

Hence, Vitor Belfort is considering more options because if Jake Paul doesn’t respond to his call-outs, then he’ll have to stage a fight with someone else.

Will Vitor Belfort get a worthy opponent by the end of the year?

Unfortunately for him, the fighters he’s calling out right now are all in talks to book their next fights with different opponents. That said, it seems unlikely that ‘The Phenom’ Vitor Belfort will get to dance in the ring with any of his targeted opponents. However, if he waits and things open up, then 2022 might bring in something extraordinary for him.
