Having attended the Trump family’s celebratory party after the election, Mr White told TMZ Sports yesterday how Mr Trump was hoping to attend the fight. He said: “Donald originally told me that he would come to the fight if he won. “I think he’s meeting with Obama today and then I don’t know. We’ll see. “I don’t think Donald really realised what his duties were going to be had he won. No pressure to come, but it wouldn’t suck if he came.”
