The match will take place at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

“I love great fighters and great fights,” Trump Sr. said. “I look forward to seeing both this Saturday night and sharing my thoughts ringside. You won’t want to miss this special event.”

Trump and his son will provide the commentary on a “gamecast” of the event, ESPN reported Tuesday.

The Trumps’ commentary will be broadcast as a pay-per-view event on Triller. The two will provide commentary for the four fights that are on the card on Saturday.

The cost for the pay-per-view is $49.99.

Holyfield, who is 58, agreed to step in as a replacement for Oscar De La Hoya, who was supposed to fight Belfort on Saturday. De La Hoya tested positive for COVID-19 last month.

Belfort, 44, is a former UFC light heavyweight champion.

Trump has been connected with professional boxing for many years. He hosted matches in the 1980s and 1990s at casinos he owned in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
