Whether you like Trump or not, I think we can all agree that the fact a former president is commentating a boxing match is awesome.
Imagine if Obama, who is a huge basketball fan, called a March Madness game. It would be must-watch television.
This is the same situation.
Donald Trump has signed a contract to call a “gamecast” of Saturday’s boxing event headlined by Evander Holyfield-Vitor Belfort, Triller tells ESPN. The former president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., will join him. Both Trumps will be in person in Hollywood, Florida.

I’ve always argued that our politicians should embrace their hobbies and not be so buttoned up. Trump has long been involved with the fight game.
Over the summer, he attended a UFC event in Vegas and the place went wild for him. Fight fans love him and he loves the fight game.
It’s a natural match. Now, he’s taking things to the next level by jumping in on the commentary.
