Shortly after the card was revealed, Sherdog.com confirmed with
both “Jacare” and Belfort that the fight will happen.
“That´s true. I’m giving the rematch to Belfort, but this time in
boxing rules,” Souza said. “I’m already training hard, and I’ll
reach April 1 ready to get a second win over him.”
Souza defeated Belfort via first-round technical knockout in their
UFC 198 clash on May 14, 2016.
“It looks like ‘Jacare’ already accepted, and we are close to
signing the contract,” Belfort said. “And I´ll just celebrate when
it´s already signed. But I’m really happy. I think it’s
gonna be amazing. It´s a rematch, but now under boxing
rules.”
Gamebred Boxing 4 takes place at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on
April 1 and is headined by a clash between ex-UFC lightweight champ
Anthony
Pettis and four-division boxing world champion Roy Jones Jr.
The event will be available via pay-per-view.
