Triller CEO Ryan Kavanaugh tells Mike Coppinger that Oscar De La Hoya’s September 11th comeback against former UFC champion Vitor Belfort, previously planned as an exhibition but now slated to be a “real fight,” will take place at Los Angeles, California’s Staples Center. Per Kavanaugh, the fight will be eight two-minute rounds at 180 pounds.
De La Hoya (39-6, 30 KO) is coming up on 13 years since his last fight, a one-sided rout courtesy of Manny Pacquiao. The defeat capped a 2-3 skid that saw him stopped in nine by Bernard Hopkins and narrowly defeated by Floyd Mayweather in what remains one of “Money’s” closest fights.
