You already know he got some special belt lined up. But Trump and Sulaiman go back ways. When Trump used to put on fights at his casinos and Sulaiman's father was alive. Trump is a real boxing fan.

Sulaiman presented Trump with his own world championship belt. That's the belt that was sitting on Trump's desk.

I find it Ironic that Pres Obama couldn't find 5 min's before he left to pardon Johnson.... I knew Pres Trump would do this since he is a big fight fan and had talked about this issue in the past.

Obama being a black man didn't want to spur on the racial divide that has exploded under the Trump admin. Trump on the other hand did this not for the fighter or injustice as he claims but for Stallone and for the chance to be accepted into the elite hollywood world.

Good for Johnson and his legacy though

What took so long ? Trump has the balls to do the right thing to end this travesty of injustice May Jack Johnson rest in peace now. His legacy no longer tarnished. Dignity fully restored.
