Oscar's outburst comes just over a week before his return to the ring. On September 11, the former world boxing champion and gold medalist at the 1992 Olympic Games will face Belfort, ending a hiatus that has lasted almost 13 years.

The clash between the stars is part of the list of super challenges that have been gaining more and more space within combat sports.
