Looking back, Oscar De La Hoya thinks signing up to fight former UFC champion Vitor Belfort was a mistake. De La Hoya, the Olympic gold medalist and multiple-time world champion in boxing, was supposed to come back from retirement last fall in an exhibition boxing match against Belfort under the Triller banner. It would’ve been his first bout against a professional fighter since retiring in 2008. However, De La Hoya was hospitalized after testing positive for COVID-19 and was forced to withdraw from the bout.
