Former President Donald Trump, who knows a lot about fighting — within both the moderately polite confines of the boxing ring and the no-holds-barred world of politics — will provide commentary for a boxing event taking place Saturday at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, according to ESPN.
The headline bout of the night is a heavyweight fight between Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belfort.
Holyfield, 58, is stepping in as a replacement for Oscar De La Hoya, who tested positive for COVID-19. Belfort, 44, is a former UFC light heavyweight champ.
Trump will be joined by his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., in providing “no holds barred” commentary during an alternate telecast of the four-fight event.

“I love great fighters and great fights,” the former president said, according to ESPN. “I look forward to seeing both this Saturday night and sharing my thoughts ringside. You won’t want to miss this special event.”
The video streaming service Triller announced that the Trumps will comment on all of the fights: Holyfield vs. Belfort, Anderson Silva vs. Tito Ortiz, David Haye vs. Joe Fournier and Andy Vences vs. Jono Carroll.
Trump was a major figure in the boxing world of the 1980s, hosting many big bouts at his casinos.
