Donald Trump invited to Canelo vs Gennady Golovkin rematch to sit with Mexico fans after promising border wall
DONALD TRUMP has been invited to sit with the Mexican Canelo fans for his rematch with Gennady Golovkin.
The wall-loving President has made repeated inflammatory remarks about Mexico and their people, vowing to build a giant wall along the US border to stop immigration.
And Canelo’s promoter - Golden Boy boss Oscar de la Hoya – has invited Trump to attend the May 5 middleweight battle.
De la Hoya told TMZ: "I always have binoculars ready for Donald Trump because I'm not going to sit him ringside
“I'm going to sit him way up there in the stands with all the Mexicans and all the fight fans from Kazakhstan!
"I dare him to come! It'll be great.”
De La Hoya expects Trump, who is a big boxing fan, to back Golovkin against Alvarez.
Trump’s Atlantic City hotel and casino hosted three Mike Tyson fights and, long before his move into politics, he helped fund seven more Tyson shows in the gambling Mecca.

Like Tyson, the controversial politician has waded into professional wrestling, and de la Hoya has been goading him to make another high-profile appearance.
The retired Mexican fighter said: “I don’t think Trump is a Mexican supporter.
"He’s more of a European supporter.
“Please come out, support the Mexicans. You know you love the Mexicans.”
