Victor Belfort doesn’t want his name and Oscar De la Hoya to be lined up on the same level as the recent fight of Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley.
For the UFC legend, his fight against the boxing legend is on a way different level.
“I told you I thought that [Woodley] was going to have trouble beating the kid because he’s becoming a fighter.”
“But his level is deficient compared to a guy like myself and Oscar. We’re in the next level,” he said in an interview with the MMA Hour.
While Belfort is just like Woodley, who is new to boxing, his status as a legend separates him, according to himself.
“It’s hard. It’s like comparing a wine that you can buy in Target. I’m honest. I respect both of the guys. They did great. They made a lot of money. But at the end of the day, Oscar and I are in a legendary fight. It’s a legacy fight. It’s a generation fight. It’s the guys that are building a sport.”
