Chris Evans, or better known as ‘Captain America’ took to Twitter to bash Donald Trump for his involvement with the fight on September 11th.

Former President Trump will be commentating on the Vitor Belfort vs Evander Holyfield card on Sep.11th alongside his son Donald Trump Jr. The fight also lands on the 11th which marks the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York. Almost 3,000 people died that day and the US uses the day to ‘Never Forget’.

Evans then took to Twitter to bash Trump for taking the gig on the anniversary, “On the 20th anniversary of one of the darkest days in American history, a former president of the United States of America will be…..hosting a pay-per-view boxing match in Florida. Honestly, how, HOW do the people who support him square this?”

Trump is calling the fight for Triller Fight Club and will serve as an alternate listening experience for the fans. Trump has been an avid fight fan and even shows up for many UFC fights. His most recent UFC sighting being when he was introduced at UFC 264 to a thunderous applause. The 45th President will be calling the fight at, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

The fight card also features Anderson Silva‘s return to the boxing ring against another UFC legend Tito Ortiz. Silva recently defeated Julia Cesar Chavez Jr in a fight earlier this year. These types of fights and cards capture the imagination of the crowd and the fans. Getting Trump as a commentator for the fight only furthers that and gets more eyeballs on the fights. Some call it a great marketing scheme and some call it the clown show.

Do you have a problem with Donald Trump calling the fight on the 20th anniversary of September 11th?

Sean O’Malley believes the 58-year-old Evander Holyfield is putting his health at a huge risk by returning to the boxing ring to fight a much younger Vitor Belfort.

Holyfield fights against Belfort Saturday, Sep. 11th, and took the fight on short notice to fill in for Oscar De La Hoya. De La Hoya tested positive for COVID-19 and forced the promoters to scramble to find someone to step in. ‘The Real Deal’ stepped in and this will be his first professional boxing match in 10 years. The former six-time champion is 14 years older than his opponent Vitor Belfort who looks in fantastic fighting shape.

‘Suga’ was on his podcast (TimboSugarShow) discussing the possible long-term effects Holyfield could have by going toe to toe with the 44-year-old Belfort. “He is 58! Dude, he can get knocked out and die. Vitor is Jacked… That’s crazy”

Belfort was a former Light Heavyweight champion and one of the pioneers of the UFC. Belfort is no slouch and although he lost most of his recent fights, he looks in better shape than he has in years. Michael Bisping claims that Belfort is “100% juiced up“. This makes the fight even more dangerous for Holyfield if Vitor is on “the juice”.

The fight was even moved to Florida because that would be on of the only places that would actually give Holyfield a professional bout. Many combat sports fans have been up in arms about ‘The Real Deal’ being able to fight. The Florida commission claimed he was given a license after he passed his medical requirements.

O’Malley has an accurate point by stating that a clean KO could have catastrophic implications on Holyfields long term health.

Do you agree with Sean O’Malley? Should Evander Holyfield’s health be a concern?
