Oscar de la Hoya has said he ‘dodged a bullet’ by not boxing former UFC champion Vitor Belfort, who instead fought Evander Holyfield and knocked out the legend in brutal fashion in September.
De la Hoya, 49, enjoyed a glittering professional boxing career between 1992 and 2008, winning world titles across six weight classes, and the American was due to return to the ring last year for a bout with Belfort.
