Fight fans will hear from the former President of the United States
this weekend.
The upcoming boxing Triller card that features the clash between
former
Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder Vitor
Belfort and former cruiserweight and undisputed heavyweight
champion Evander Holyfield will have a special guest as
commentator. On Wednesday morning, Fite confirmed that the 45th
President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, would do live
commentary on the much-anticipated boxing debut of “The
Phenom.”
“I love great fighters and great fights. I look forward to seeing
both this Saturday night and sharing my thoughts ringside. You
won’t want to miss this special event,” said Trump in a press
release.
Trump has always been vocal about his support for combat sports,
mixed martial arts in particular. His friendship with UFC President
Dana White is well-known and dates back to 2001 when Trump allowed
the Nevada-based promotion to host events at the Trump Taj Mahal
and other Trump venues while other arenas rejected them. He also
attempted to launch his own MMA promotion back in 2007 when was
part of the Affliction promotion. While the project never took off
as a legit competitor to the UFC, Trump did sign some of the most
important names at the time, including former UFC heavyweight
champions Tim Sylvia and
Andrei
Arlovski.
Belfort (26-14 1NC MMA) is looking for a new challenge in his
decennial combat-sport career. The Brazilian was supposed to make
his debut in One
Championship before agreeing with the Singapore-based promotion
to be set free from the deal. Now, “The Phenom” is looking for his
first victory in boxing. Belfort was supposed to face Oscar De La
Hoya before the former boxing titleholder pulled out after testing
positive for COVID-19.
The upcoming Triller event will go down at the Hard Rock in
Hollywood, Florida, starting 6:00 p.m. ET on Sept. 11. Fans can
order it on Fite at $49.99 in North America and £13.99 in the UK.
The card will also see a boxing clash between former UFC kingpins
Anderson
Silva and Tito Ortiz.
Also, David Haye takes on Joe Fournier and Andy Vences clashes with
Jono Carroll.
