As part of the upcoming Triller Fight Club event on Sept. 11, former President Donald Trump will serve as a guest commentator for the upcoming card headlined by Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort.
Trump’s special “unfiltered boxing commentary” will be broadcast as part of the pay-per-view airing through FITE TV with the event taking place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla.
“I love great fighters and great fights,” Trump stated in a Triller press release. “I look forward to seeing both this Saturday night and sharing my thoughts ringside. You won’t want to miss this special event.”
Of course, before he got involved in politics, Trump hosted numerous combat sports events at his hotels and casinos in Atlantic City, N.J., which is how he actually became close friends with UFC President Dana White.
Trump is billed to “host and commentate” the event, which serves as Holyfield’s return to action for the first time in over a decade. Former heavyweight champion Holyfield, 58, comes out of retirement to box ex-UFC champ Belfort after his original opponent, Oscar De La Hoya, was forced off the card after contracting COVID-19. Belfort competes in just his second professional boxing fight after a 2006 debut.

He loves boxing.
Holyfield? He’s gotta be getting up there age wise.
Oh well. If somebody offered me a couple of Grand to go
Do-Si-Do for a few rounds with an amateur, I’d probably say yes too. Money is money.
Otherwise, I’m glad to see The Donald being included in what may be a fun event. I hope they have a few other guys boxing first, because this Holyfield match probably won’t last but a few rounds.
I dunno, holyfield got his ear to the ground.
PDJT is just having fun, and he deserves it. I’m sure the ad rate goes up once people know what he’s up to.
My President!!
lol! What’s left of that ear, anyway.
The fight will be scripted like WWE Wrestling. (Which President Trump participated in, helping Bobby Lashley win at Wrestlemania, and giving air time for the Miss Teen USA, Miss USA, and Miss Universe pageants he was a part of.)

He was on Bongino today. He dodged the question about whether or not he would run in 2024, but said that people would be very happy.
Bongino called him "Mr. Trump." No, Dan, that's "President Trump."
And Gutfeld is interviewing him tomorrow night. That should be fun.
* He loves boxing. *
But most people don’t. I think this is bad for his image.
Can anyone imagine Biden doing this? Hahahaha.
