Former US President Donald Trump.
“I love big boxers and big matches. I’m looking forward to seeing both on Saturday night and being able to share my observations from the ring. Don’t miss this extraordinary event,” Trump said in a press release.
The 75-year-old businessman and former US president has been involved in boxing for many years. He was the organizer and promoter of many gala evenings, mostly in the casino he owned in Atlantic City.
Holyfield will return to the ring after ten years, boxing with a former MMA star
–
Saturday’s boxing exhibition will take place on the day of the twentieth anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The star of the evening was originally to be Oscar de la Hoya, who fell ill with covid-19 before the planned comeback. Instead, 50-year-old Holyfield will face former martial arts champion Vitor Belfort of Brazil.
The gala evening was scheduled for the Staples Center in Los Angeles. However, the California Sports Commission did not allow the match due to Holyfield’s age, so the event was moved to a casino in Hollywood, Florida.
