Hulk Hogan attends the fight wearing an identical shirt to the one he ripped off during his RNC speech
Hulk Hogan made a notable appearance at the Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry boxing match in Tampa, Florida, wearing a shirt identical to the one he famously ripped off during his speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, just two days prior. Hogan, a legendary figure in wrestling, stood out among the attendees at Amalie Arena, towering over the fighters with his 6-foot-7-inch, 300-pound frame.
During his speech at the RNC, Hogan tore off his shirt to the cheers of the crowd, invoking “Trumpamania” and urging supporters to let it “run wild.” The shirt, a black tank top emblazoned with “Real American” and featuring a dramatized image of Hogan holding an American flag, became an instant symbol of his appearance.
At the boxing event, Hogan’s presence added an extra layer of excitement. Despite being surrounded by cruiserweights like Paul and Perry, Hogan’s imposing stature made him one of the most noticeable figures at the venue. His arrival sparked curiosity about whether the iconic wrestler might be enticed to step into the ring, given his legendary status in the world of combat sports.
The event’s live updates highlighted the anticipation surrounding the Paul vs. Perry fight, but Hogan’s attendance quickly became a focal point. Fans and spectators alike were intrigued by the possibility of seeing Hogan, even if just as a spectator, at such a high-profile boxing match.
