Former President Donald Trump has signed a contract to comment on a “gamecast” of Saturday’s boxing event led by Evander Holyfield against Vitor Belfort, according to Triller on ESPN.
His son, Donald Trump Jr., will accompany him to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
“I love the big fighters and the big fights,” Donald Trump Sr. said. “I look forward to seeing you both this Saturday night and sharing my thoughts. You won’t want to miss this special event.”
According to Triller, the Trumps will call all four-fight television that also includes Anderson Silva-Tito Ortiz and David Haye-Joe Fournier.
Holyfield, a 58-year-old former heavyweight champion, stepped in shortly to replace Oscar De La Hoya, who tested positive for COVID-19.
Belfort, 44, is a former UFC light heavyweight champion.
Trump, 75, is a veteran of the fighting game, having hosted many boxing matches in the 1980s and 1990s at his casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Triller has already happened for the first time with celebrity commentators. Snoop Dogg was part of Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr.’s November television broadcast. and also from the April fight between Jake Paul and Ben Askren. Pete Davidson, too, was part of the April television broadcast.
Jim Lampley, the longtime HBO man, will call the main broadcast alongside former champion Shawn Porter. Viewers will have the option to purchase Trump’s main broadcast or “gamecast” for $ 49.99.
