Evander Holyfield is coming out of retirement. For one fight, anyway. “The Real Deal” is set to go up in battle against former UCF light-heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort, stepping in for Oscar De La Hoya at the last minute after De La Hoya contracted COVID-19. Interested in checking out the Holyfield vs Belfort fight for yourself? We’ve rounded up everything you need to know.
The highly anticipated Triller Fight Club fight has been dubbed “Legends 2,” and could be one of the most interesting fights in recent history. Why?

Watch the Holyfield vs Belfort fight using a VPN
Even if you pay the proper fee for your region, you can still end up getting geo-blocked out of your country. If that happens to you, it’s worth looking into a VPN. If you’re on the hunt for a VPN, we recommend ExpressVPN.
A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, creates a connection between your devices and the internet, such that servers you access can’t see what you’re doing. There are lots of VPNs out there, and they’re not all created equal. We recommend going for ExpressVPN. Installing and using ExpressVPN is easy — just install it, sign in or create an account, and choose the location you want to appear to be using the internet from.
