Former US President Donald Trump will commentate at the upcoming event ‘Evander Holyfield vs Vitor Belfort’ on Triller PPV which will happen at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on September 11. Trump will join the commentary panel and the news has already spread like wildfire in the combat world.
Given the response, Triller seems to have outlined the trend of grabbing attention by trying to rope in another former US President. Several reports suggest Triller is in advance talks with Obama Foundation to bring in Barack Obama for the Teofimo Lopez vs George Kambosos Jr. panel. The return of ‘Take Over’ against Kambosos Jr, will see all four lightweight titles go up for grabs. So, Obama’s inception can be another special feature on the night.

The event can be an intriguing night of action, different from all the exhibitions under the Triller banner. That said, the lightweight slugfest contest has already seen several changes in its date. To further retain the popularity, the new move towards Barack Obama can be a massive one.
Triller’s Ryan Kavanaugh tells me he’s in talks with the Obama Foundation to have Barack Obama commentate on a gamecast of the Teofimo Lopez-George Kambosos fight. Donald Trump is calling a gamecast of Evander Holyfield-Vitor Belfort tomorrow with Donald Trump Jr.
