The boxing match between Acelino Popó Freitas and Vitor belfort may not get off the ground. After a proposal to confront alternative rules, uniting elements of MMA, the boxer reacted negatively to the idea and indicated that the fight between legends should not happen. On his Instagram profile, the Bahian explained his position.
“This year, annoying things happened to me, in terms of provocations. The first was (Kleber) Bambam. (…) Now, you have the Vitor belfort. He made a glove more than 15 years ago and, to this day, he tries to promote this glove. He wants to promote the glove with me, which has nothing to do with one another. I have no reason to fight who people want. I fight whoever I want. I'm no longer a professional fighter. I'm 48 years old. I do these fights to promote my sport, give people joy, and for people to know my story. (…) Vitor is already being discarded”, said Popó, on his Instagram profile.
