Oscar De La Hoya vs. Vitor Belfort won’t be happening after all – at least not next week. De La Hoya, the boxing legend who was supposed to come out of retirement to box former UFC champion Belfort in the Triller Fight Club main event on Sept. 11 in Los Angeles, has contracted COVID-19 and will be unable to compete in the bout.
