Donald And Jack Johnson
Trump’s softer side is also shown in his compassion to others who were unfairly treated. Prior to issuing a pardon to the late boxer, Jack Johnson, the two used to be pals and would attend special occasions together.
Johnson was the first African-American world heavyweight boxing champion who was jailed for his relationship with a white woman.
Best Friends Forever
As a public figure, even prior to his position in the White House, Trump was already famous thanks to his successful business ventures and TV appearances. His notoriety was only bolstered by his frequent appearances at major sports events, like his all-time favorite: the WWE.
Here he is seen taking yet another photo op with an impressively huge champion wrestler, Hulk Hogan. The two are known to have been pals for a long time and Hogan was one friend who remained a staunch supporter of Trump after he was elected president.
Donald’s Support Of Boxing Legend
Aside from Hulk Hogan, Mike Tyson also received a huge amount of support from businessman, Donald Trump. Seen in this photo (L-R) is promoter Don King, Trump, Tyson, boxer Michael Spinks, and his manager, Butch Lewis.
The snap was taken during Tyson and Spinks’ publicity event at Taj Mahal Hotel, which Trump owned at the time.
Mr. And Mrs. Trump
Trump’s 15 years of marriage with former wife, Ivana, had a lot of blissful memories, including the births of their three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric.
The Czech model was supportive of her husband, always accompanying him to events and dazzling the camera with her genuine smile. This photo was taken at Trump Plaza Casino Hotel in New Jersey.
Trump And Pacheco
Muhammad Ali’s trusted “fight doctor” Ferdie Pacheco was photographed in the thick of things with Donald Trump. Pacheco served as Ali’s ringside physician for a long time. When the heavyweight champ refused to follow Pacheco’s advice to retire from boxing to protect his health, Pacheco retired instead.
While the two weren’t in agreement, Pacheco made it clear he was proud of Ali for the unprecedented accomplishments he made in his boxing career.
