What channel is Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort on tonight? How to watch, buy 2021 fight on pay-per-view

Former six-division boxing champion Oscar de la Hoya was set to make his comeback bout against former UFC light heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort on Sept. 11. Now, another legend will take his spot. 

For the first time in over 10 years, former unified cruiserweight and heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield will fight in the ring. After de la Hoya withdrew from this bout due to being hospitalized by COVID-19, Holyfield stepped in on Sept. 3 to face Belfort, who won his only boxing fight by technical knockout against Josemario Neves in 2006, in an eight-round match on Saturday. 

The bout will have two-minute rounds akin to when Mike Tyson fought Roy Jones Jr. in November of 2020. Saturday’s card will also feature longtime UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva facing former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz in a cruiserweight fight. 

The entire card will feature commentary from legendary broadcaster Jim Lampley and former WBC welterweight champion Shawn Porter. Former United States president Donald Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., will provide alternate commentary on FITE.tv. 

Here are more details on how to watch Saturday’s pay-per-view event.
