Triller offers Jake Paul $30 million to fight Vitor Belfort on Thanksgiving
By Zain Bando
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.
