Former President Donald Trump will return to the spotlight this Saturday night to provide commentary for the Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort boxing match.
The former president will be joined by his son, Donald Trump Jr., at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, where the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion Holyfield will go head-to-head with the 44-year-old Vitor Belfort, former UFC light heavyweight champion. Holyfield stepped in for the event at the last minute following Oscar De La Hoya being hospitalized for the coronavirus.
