Former President Donald Trump will make his debut as a boxing analyst for the alternate “No Holds Barred” telecast of Triller’s pay-per-view boxing event headlined by Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belfort at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla.
Trump, along with his son Donald Trump Jr., will provide commentary throughout Saturday’s four-fight boxing main card.
The broadcast is not Trump’s first foray into the boxing world. The 75-year-old is well known around the boxing community, hosting numerous matches at his Atlantic City casinos in the 1980s and ‘90s. Triller is known for experimenting with celebrity commentators in the past, adding Snoop Dogg as a part of last November’s Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr. pay-per-view as well as April’s Jake Paul-Ben Askren fight card along with Pete Davidson.
