So far, there has been no official word from President-elect Donald Trump on whether he will attend the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, but there may be indications that Trump could show up at any time.

Donald Trump has a long history of staging title fights at his former properties in Atlantic City.

Trump also has a well-known friendship with UFC boss Dana White, who spoke during the president-elect’s victory speech last week.

As a spectator, Trump attended UFC 295 at Madison Square Garden last November and commented on former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield’s return to the ring in late 2021.

And Trump received an ovation when he attended UFC 264 in July 2021 for the megafight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier.

Trump received a more mixed reaction when he attended UFC 244 in 2019. That card was also held at Madison Square Garden.
