George Foreman believes that he and Trump have similar playbooks when it comes to dealing with criticism.

“You know, when you’re into something like this, you just gotta fight,” Foreman said on Saturday during an interview with “Fox & Friends.”

“You can’t even worry about the audience,” he added after hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade asked him about Trump’s apparent decision to respond to his opponents by “not taking a backwards step.”

“When I’m in those boxing matches, I hear, ‘Boo, boo, boo,’ after the fight, when I listen to them on the tape. But in the ring, you don’t listen to anything. You must step forward and fight,” Foreman explained.

In the same interview, Foreman spoke about how Trump “would always take my calls,” and suggested that Trump’s presidential win was inevitable.

“Sometimes people win just because they’re winners,” Foreman said. “Some people lose just because they never thought they really would win, and they lose.”

He then added, “Winning is an idea, once you get in it, you can’t lose.”
