Vitor Belfort has set his sights on Jake Paul after dismantling boxing legend Evander Holyfield.
Contrary to what many expected, Vitor Belfort vs. Evander Holyfield didn’t last long and instead of hard exchange of blows, the bout was short and one-sided.
In the end, it was Belfort who was hailed winner via TKO. The former UFC star started off aggressive and immediately threw a flurry of hard shots on Holyfield, prompting the referee to stop the fight at exactly 1:49 of the very first round.
Speaking after the fight, Belfort shockingly called out YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul, who was coming off a win over another former UFC star Tyron Woodley.
According to Belfort, he would be pleased to obliterated Paul, whom he referred to as a “kid” for a whopping “$25 million” cash price.

“There’s this kid, and we’ve got $25 million dollar,” the Brazilian MMA legend said in his post-fight interview. “The winner take all! Let’s go! Hey Jake Paul, stop running from me man. I’m going to teach you a lesson. You can be my kid. You’re going to come meet Daddy over here at Triller. Stop running! You’re a little b—h!”
Though nothing has progressed yet, Paul is very likely to make a response to Belfort’s bold challenge.
As for Holyfield, it is unclear whether he will be slated again for another bout, but as far as how things played out against Vitor Belfort, the 58-year-old is certain it should’ve been stopped like that.
“It is what it is,” Holyfield said post-fight. “I think it was a bad call. I think the referee should’ve allowed [it], I’m telling you, you shouldn’t have stopped the fight that quick.”
