Fan favourite Lewis will look to derail the Hokit hype by extend his record for the most knockouts in history.
And he plans to whip off his shorts in the shadow of the Oval Office after sending Hokit to the shadow realm.
When asked if he reckoned fans would rather see him drop trou or listen to Hokit on the mic after the fight, he said: “I don’t even like this guy.
“So I would like to take my pants off just because you say that.
“Please let me take my pants off.”
When it was put to him that he’d have to ask Trump, he replied: “No, I ain’t asking him.
“I’m gonna just do it.”
Fan favourite Lewis, 41, is no stranger to a post-fight strip down in the octagon.

He famously took off his shorts in the cage after his comeback victory over Alexander Volkov at UFC 229 in October 2018.
And in May 2024, he dropped his kegs following a brutal third-round stoppage of Rodrigo Nascimento .
But he went a step further by pulling down his compression shorts and doing his best full moon impression.
