Evander Holyfield faced Vitor Belfort for an exhibition bout at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood in Miami on September 11, 2021. Meanwhile, Trump also had a very special role in this event. The former POTUS and his son ran an alternate commentary program for the show.

The press conference also saw Trump’s presence via a phone call. In conversation, he was asked who he wished to face in a boxing match. Trump, on the other hand, did not wish to face a professional boxer, but someone closer home. He said, “If you said if I had to box somebody. I think my easiest fight would be Joe Biden. I think he’d go down very, very quickly.”
