The 2024 Republican presidential candidate told Tyrus he was at Muhammad Ali’s first fight against Joe Frazier at Madison Square Garden in March 1971 – known as "The Fight of the Century."

"Believe it or not, I was at Madison Square Garden, I think it was Ali-Frazier I. … I was there as a young guy, very young guy," Trump recalled. "And I remember, there were many heart attacks. … It was the craziest evening. 

"Two undefeated, legendary fighters – they were both undefeated – and it was brutal. And that was the days of the 15-round fights. And I can’t say it because I’m not in the ring, but those fights were better. Those extra three rounds … they were the championship rounds. … In terms of the event, I think that was maybe the greatest event."
