Triller’s main boxing event between Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belfort stayed true to the immense buzz created around it. To everyone’s surprise, both the fighters, regardless of their age, came out flamboyantly to make the most out of their time in the squared circle. But, in the end, it was Vitor Belfort’s night as he claimed a solid round 1 T/KO win.

As the fight began, Holyfield began throwing his jabs to check the distance. Despite that, Belfort was the more aggressive of the duo and looked to smother the legend.

Holyfield even slipped and fell on the ropes. But there was no stopping for Belfort, as he only came ahead with his hits. ‘The Real Deal’ seemed outclassed with his foe’s assault and he even went down on the canvas. As a result, to save him from further beatings, the referee decided to stop the fight in round 1 itself.

Although this fight didn’t go as planned for Holyfield, he showed heart and kept coming back. He was left jittered when the referee stopped the fight. This itself was proof of how badly the retro heavyweight king wanted a win here.
