Trump: ‘We Love Our Country, We Love Our Country. Thank You Very Much’
“This is an honor to be with you! What a great evening,” Trump said. “I think you’re gonna see an incredible fight.”
“We love our country, we love our country,” Trump also said. “Thank you very much,” Trump said in response to the boisterous “We love Trump” chant that continued even after the former president sat down at the announcer’s table.
58-year-old Holyfield lost to 44-year-old Belfort after he got knocked out in the first round.
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!”
