Vitor Belfort says Evander Holyfield stepping in to replace Oscar De La Hoya is like "upgrading from business class to first-class".

Holyfield has stepped in to replace Oscar De La Hoya who had to withdraw after being hospitalized with COVID-19. The fight was then moved to Florida from Los Angeles because California wouldn't sanction a 58-year-old entering the ring.

The two fighters will face-off in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Saturday after California refused to sanction a bout with the 58-year-old Hoylfield.
