President Donald Trump brought former boxing champion Mike Tyson to a campaign rally in Syracuse, New York, on Friday night. Fox News and PBS NewsHour reported that Trump spoke at the event to support Bruce Blakeman, the Republican candidate running against Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul. [1][3]

Fox News reported that Tyson visited the White House earlier in the day before traveling to Syracuse alongside Trump on Air Force One. During the rally, Trump brought Tyson on stage and pointed out his physical stature to the crowd. [1]

The Daily Mail and the New York Post reported that Tyson recently revealed he delivered a letter to Trump from Sean Combs, who is serving a 50-month prison sentence. In an appearance on the SiriusXM show Andy Cohen Live, Tyson stated that he was friendly with Combs and delivered the letter from behind bars at his request. [2][4]

Blakeman currently serves as the Nassau County executive and is the Republican nominee for the 2026 New York gubernatorial election. As FTMQ News reported earlier, local authorities in Syracuse arranged road closures and parking bans ahead of the Friday evening campaign event. [10][14]
