Michael WoodsPresident Trump will NOT be in NY and attending the Saturday fight between Gennady Golovkin and Danny Jacobs, according to GGG promoter Tom Loeffler.
Loeffler told media at a Monday query session that Trump, who did attend the GGG v David Lemieux scrap in NYC in October 2015, will not be there.
Trump actually went to the GGG dressing room before the fighting pride of Kazahkstan downed Lemieux.
“He’s not coming for this fight but there will be a lot of celebrities in attendance, both from the HBO side, from the Madison Square Garden side,” Loeffler said. “We’re expecting a lot of celebrities.”

The Brooklyn-based journalist Woods has covered the sport since then, for ESPN The Magazine, ESPN.com, ESPN New York, RING, and he was editor of TheSweetScience.com from 2007-2015. Woods is also an accomplished blow by blow and color man, having done work for Top Rank, DiBella Entertainment, EPIX, and for Facebook Fightnight Live since 2017. He now does work for PROBOX TV, the first truly global boxing network.
