(CNN)Former world champion boxer Evander Holyfield stepped back in the
ring for the first time in over a decade, but it didn't go quite to plan
for the 58-year-old.
Holyfield, who is best known for his two victories over Mike Tyson --
including the infamous fight in which Tyson bit his ear -- suffered a first-round technical knockout to former UFC fighter Vitor Belfort on
Saturday at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Florida.

Belfort, 44, who was a UFC light heavyweight champion, attacked Holyfield
with a succession of quick punches early on, pinning him against the ropes.
And, having not landed a punch of his own, Holyfield was knocked to the
canvas twice before the referee called an end to the fight in the first
round.
He returned to boxing with just over a week's notice to replace Oscar De
La Hoya, who contracted Covid-19.
Belfort called it a "legendary" moment given the tough season everyone is
going through.
"I remember I was fighting two guys on the same night and Holyfield was fighting Mike Tyson for $30 million," he told the media after. "It's been
a privilege."
While the two former combat sports competitors did battle in the ring,
former US President Donald Trump and his son, Don Jr., provided their
input from the commentary booth.
The Trumps were part of the commentary team for the event, alongside
rapper 50 Cent.
Trump has long been a fan of boxing and mixed martial arts.
He hosted several of Tyson's early fights at his Atlantic City property.
Trump was a sponsor of one of Tyson's most famous knockouts -- his
destruction of Michael Spinks in just 91 seconds.
Trump, in office, paid homage to the sweet science by pardoning Jack
Johnson, a former heavyweight champion convicted of transporting a White
woman over state lines. Of Johnson, Trump said: "The first African
American heavyweight champion of the world, a truly great fighter. Had a
tough life."
### - had to smile at this one? trumpy obviously hoping to make SUMMAT out
of holyfield's 'great big comeback' and the fucker gots knocked out in the first round?? LOL ! :D :D :D
but then he WAS a bit OLD wasn't he at 50 fuckin' 8??? geez!
sorry OLD man trump heh, but the OMENS say/suggest that you AIN'T gonna
make it pal if you run again?
lol the fucker gots knocked out in the very first round! and i really
don't think old trumpy's 'ego' could ever take 'another' crunch like that
huh! his recent very nasty comments re knocking biden out in a fight would
be coming back to haunt him like a sob haha...
so anyway heh, maybe he's really not AS dumb as he looks and will take
some of holyfield's loss to heart and thus think twice about running again?
coz his very sanity itself could be on the line this time if'n he does...
and loses!
life gave him a very clear warning shot right across his bow huh...
plus so kewl if that's true :)
