Donald Trump says he also scored a knockout in the Evander Holyfield-Mike Tyson heavyweight championship fight last month, winning $20 million with a $1 million bet on Holyfield.
"I made the million-dollar bet even though I thought Holyfield would actually lose," Trump told the Daily News."You don't put 20-1 odds against a champion. I have to admit that I was surprised when Holyfield won. I bet the odds."
Bookmakers doubt the claim, and Las Vegas gamblers said they hadn't heard about the bet, which the real estate tycoon said he placed in Las Vegas, the newspaper reported Wednesday.
