Vitor Belfort wants big money for his next Triller boxing match in November.
Vitor Belfort made short work of former heavyweight champion, Evander Holyfield, in a rather laughable encounter. Belfort won the fight by first-round KO, as most pundits expected.
However, what made it more interesting was the call-out that Belfort, a former UFC champion, made in his post-fight interview. Apparently, Belfort has beef with boxing’s biggest superstar and undefeated phenomenon, Jake Paul. Paul is coming off of a hard-fought close decision against Tyron Woodley in what was a highly-anticipated mega fight.
Belfort wants as much money as humanly possible, and he wants it sooner rather than later in a potential bout versus Paul.
