Former US President Donald Trump has signed a contract to announce a boxing match between Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belfort on Saturday, reported ESPN.
He and his son, Donald Trump Jr., will call a live "gamecast" of a total of four fights from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, match organizer Triller Fight Club told ESPN.
"I love great fighters and great fights," said President Trump in a statement from Triller, reported several outlets.
"I look forward to seeing both this Saturday night and sharing my thoughts ringside. You won't want to miss this special event."
The Trumps' alternate commentary has been listed on pay-per-view site FITE.tv, which was acquired by social media app Triller's parent company earlier this year.
This isn't Donald Trump Sr.'s first foray into the boxing world. He's hosted matches involving legends like Mike Tyson before at his casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, back in the 70s and 80s.
Saturday's event pits former heavyweight boxing champion Holyfield, 58, against former UFC lightweight champion Belfort, 44. Holyfield is filling in as a short-notice replacement for Oscar De La Hoya, who contracted COVID-19 and had to drop the fight.
Other fights from the event include matches between Anderson Silva and Tito Ortiz and David Haye and Joe Fournier.
