“I was at a charity event with Evander (Holyfield) seven years ago and he needed a coach to direct him where to go because he didn't know where he was, so I don't know if he should be fighting. But I have no idea how he will be (against Belfort). Now, when I saw him at that charity event, maybe he had had a little to drink. I don't know, maybe he was just passed out. But one guy had to whisper everyone's name in his ear and show him where to go,” Schaub reported.

Evander Holyfield, 58, will return to the ring after more than 11 years. In his last appearance, which took place in April 2010, the American beat Brian Nelson by knockout. However, with the return of his former arch-rival Mike Tyson, Evander admitted his desire to follow in the footsteps of returning to the ring.
