The ostensible main event,

is now said to be an exhibition. 58 year old Holyfield got cold feet and changed his mind last-minute (yesterday morning) about it being a sanctioned pro bout that would count on his record. Some are reporting that Holyfield is being given carte blanche to make a 'game time decision' as late as just before ringwalks in his dressing room - but for all intents & purposes we can assume that one is an exhibition.

Yes, that one never was in question AFAIK. Haye didn't get license from the FSAC; it was decided weeks ago that it'd for sure be an exhibition. It has only been in the last couple of days that it popped up on BoxRec (then off again) with people on Twitter claiming it had been changed to a sanctioned pro bout, although I can't find reliable official sources corroborating that.

 

Are you sure about that detail in particular being confirmed, though? Been a lot of confusion and cross-chatter so that might have been something that got mixed up along the way. Exhibitions by definition have no winners or losers - so either it counts on their official records or, as long as both reach the final bell, there ought to be no 'verdict' regardless of whether anyone got their ass kicked/schooled. (just like Mayweather vs. Logan Paul)

I know it otherwise is going to be normal rules, number+length of rounds, etc. That was just in case Holyfield decides at the final moment to have it count on his pro record they don't have to change anything.

Dude isn't just a fightin' grandpa now, he's potentially great-great-randfather age in the hood (if four consecutive generations all sire offspring at 14 or 15, neither of which is all that uncommon. So, have kid at 14, they give you a grandkid when you're 28, who in turn has your great-grandkid when you're 43, who in turn fathers your great-great when you're 58 like Holy is now)

Tito just 3/1?!?!

 

Yep, definitely war Jono - and then...? I guess let's go Team Brazil? Get one (or two) back for Robson last night? I don't honestly care about Ortíz vs. Silva or Holyfield vs. Belfort as far as having any emotional investment (nor Haye vs. Fournier), just have a sort of morbid curiosity about how they pan out.
