Evander Holyfield fought Vitor Belfort in 2021.
‘The Real Deal’ had a glittering boxing career, but when facing a man 14-years his junior he sadly looked as you would expect a man to be approaching his 60s.
Holyfield had agreed to fight the at the time 44-year-old MMA standout on eight days notice, when Oscar De La Hoya withdrew after contracting COVID-19.
It was fought as an exhibition, but Belfort didn’t treat it such and pummeled Holyfield before the referee mercifully stopped the former heavyweight champion from taking any more punishment.

Mike Tyson returns to the ring against Jake Paul with the age gap being a staggering 31 years this time.
‘The Problem Child’ has amassed a record of 10-1 in the sport with his only defeat coming at the hands of Tommy Fury.
The fight will be broadcast on Netflix and one can only hope that ‘Iron Mike’ isn’t embarrassed by the former Disney star.
