Donald Trump really is all over the place, never missing an opportunity to get some publicity. He’s even planning to attend Saturday’s pay-per-view boxing fight between Canelo Alvarez and Amir Khan.

Oscar De La Hoya, whose company promotes Alvarez, said on a conference call Wednesday that he received confirmation that Trump will attend the fight. The fight will take place on Saturday at the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, marking the first sporting event to be held at the venue.

Khan even sneaked in a joke about the Republican presidential candidate’s policies:

"Who knows?" @amirkingkhan says. "This could be the last fight here for me and @Canelo if @realDonaldTrump becomes president."

— Lance Pugmire (@latimespugmire) May 4, 2016

Given that De La Hoya (sarcastically) thanked Trump for giving him the idea for the fight, it’s only right for Trump to be there to witness the action unfold in the ring.
