“This is an honor to be with you! What a great evening,” Trump said. “I think you’re gonna see an incredible fight.”

Belfort reportedly did not give Holyfield an opportunity to land a single punch on him.

Before the fight, the eventual victor Belfort told viewers, “Let’s unite and Make America Great Again!”
