Aging boxing superstar Evander Holyfield and former UFC champion Vitor Belfort are fighting this weekend. And if that wasn't weird enough, former US President Donald Trump is apparently going to be on commentary duties. This could be the weirdest combat sport event of 2021 and in a year where YouTubers Logan Paul and Jake Paul have taken over boxing, that's saying something.

According to a statement issued by Triller Fight Club, Trump will "host and commentate" at the Sept. 11 event, joined by his son, Donald Trump Jr.
Originally, legendary fighter Oscar De La Hoya, 48, who retired in 2009, was set to fight Brazilian ex-UFC champion Vitor Belfort, 44, in an exhibition bout. But earlier this month, De La Hoya posted a video shot from a hospital bed. He has COVID-19 and can't fight.

The event begins at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Saturday, Sept. 11.

The event was supposed to take place at Staples Center in De La Hoya's hometown of Los Angeles, but it's been moved to The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. According to a report from ESPN, the California State Athletic Commission refused to sanction Holyfield-Belfort.

The coast-to-coast move certainly makes it more convenient for the Florida-based former president, who reportedly will be at the fight in person.

How to watch Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort
To watch the fight night on pay-per-view, go to Fite TV to purchase the $49.99 package, which includes unlimited replays until Dec. 11, 2021. Or order it through your existing cable, satellite or telecommunications provider.

To hear the Trumps' commentary during each match, viewers will need to use the secondary audio function (SAP) on their cable box or TV set, pay-per-view provider iNDemand said in a statement.

I think the fact they allow a near 60 year old is disgusting. As funny as Trump and all them getting involved in it is, it's disgusting. This shouldn't be allowed.

if he was vs another 60 year old maybe evader look good shape but vitro wtf wicked random opponent vitor old but young compared evander match make no sense triller is fucked up

evander should only fight if it v tyson or other boxer his era

I think he beats vitor tho by ud
 
Vitor is going to destroy him. There is a massive difference between 44 and fucking 58. He's going to finish him in the first round.

As far as Silva-Tito goes, I'm already on record saying that if Tito wins, I will retire from watching combat sports for the rest of my life.

Vitor round 1 KO
Anderson by KO after clowning Tito for a couple rounds

Not a chance. Evander can't even move his head anymore. I have no idea how this fight got sanctioned. Vitor is 44, which is old but he's not that far removed from fighting.

Evander is in good shape, but he looks like a grandpa in his sparring videos. I'm legit worried for his safety

Wikipedia says that after Lampley quit, 50 Cent stepped in as co-commentator.

i agree with you.. i love Evander.. if it was any other fighter, they might have problems 'getting in' on a boxer... and making things happen.. but vitor can do that, and I think he's gonna be much faster, and he can hit.. Evander can probably still stop him with one shot, BUT.,. that ain't gonna happen. I think vitor is just gonna be too much for him if they really go at it 100%
 
Triller are betting their entire business on a roided to the gills vitor, not killing an old man.
Who, according to schaub, has had a handler for the last few social functions to steer him around the tables and remind him of peoples names.

That's not a smart bet. I think Silva should will this but he isn't the same Anderson Silver from even a few years ago. Tito's striking has improved while Anderson has gotten older and significantly slower. Anderson without his superhuman speed just isn't the same fighter and he'll be up against a guy who is naturally a lot heavier than him. I could see Tito refusing to trade punches with the counter puncher and doing a lot of clinching.

Does Silva still have enough to defeat Tito? I think so. I hope so. But it's not a bet I would be comfortable going all in on.

I hope he's exaggerating. Schaud is a moron so I don't put much stock in what he says but I remember even during the last few years of his fighting career, when he was still challenging for the title, Holyfield was coming off as very punch drunk even then.
