The fight will take place on September 11 and it is expected to be another big money-making fight for Triller Fight Club as it features one of the most famous boxers of all time in De La Hoya against an MMA legend in Belfort.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aGjhPMCWN-o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TMZ Sports<\/a> following the announcement of the fight, Belfort explained why he believes this upcoming boxing match against De La Hoya will be &#8220;the biggest fight ever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe this fight with me and Oscar, this is the biggest fight ever. The reason why is Oscar is a legendary (Olympic) gold medalist, one of the best pound-for-pound that ever lived. He revolutionized the sport. If it wasn\u2019t for Oscar, there wouldn\u2019t be Mayweather. If it wasn\u2019t for Vitor Belfort, Conor McGregor wouldn\u2019t exist. So now the new generation will be educated on who these two guys are from Mexico and Brazil going to America, the land of the dreams. Oscar became an Olympic gold medalist. Vitor became the youngest (UFC) champion ever. This fight is about breaking records,&#8221; Belfort said (h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/2021\/06\/vitor-belfort-vs-evander-holyfield-december-boxing-oscar-de-la-hoya-triller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAjunkie.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFights have always been, \u2018Oh, this is the bad guy, this is the good guy.\u2019 This fight will sell like Muhammad Ali and George Foreman because of skills, legacy.
