Former President Donald Trump has signed a contract to commentate on a special of Saturday’s boxing event headlined by Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort.
According to Triller Company, Donald Trump Jr, the former president’s son, will join his father at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida on the Holyfield vs Belfort commentator team.
“I love great fighters and great fights,” said the former president.
“I look forward to seeing you this Saturday night and sharing my thoughts in the ring. You won’t want to miss this special event,” he added.
The Trumps will talk about the headlining fight, which is backed by four bouts that include Anderson Silva-Tito Ortiz and David Haye-Joe Fournier, according to Triller.
Holyfield, the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion, was tapped for the bout as a replacement for Oscar de la Hoya, who tested positive for covid-19.
Belfort, 44, is a former UFC light heavyweight champion.
Trump, 75, has hosted many boxing matches in the 1980s and 1990s at his casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Triller has had celebrity commentators before. Snoop Dogg was part of the November Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr. telecast and also the April fight between Jake Paul and Ben Askren. Pete Davidson was also part of the April broadcast.
Longtime HBO man Jim Lampley will do commentary on the main telecast alongside former champion Shawn Porter, but viewers will have the option to purchase the telecast for Holyfield vs Belfort featuring Trump for $49.99.
