Holyfield, 58, is a former heavyweight champion and stepped in on short notice to replace Oscar De La Hoya, who tested positive for COVID-19. Holyfield retired from boxing in 2011 but was expected to make his return in May against Mike Tyson before negotiations fell through on both sides. Meanwhile, Belfort, 44, is a former UFC light heavyweight champion.

Trump Sr. is no stranger to boxing. In the 1980s and '90s, he hosted matches at his casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
