And I believe that this woman right here can continue that."

Donald Trump
- MIKE TYSON: Former heavyweight champion of the world, Tyson is most famous for biting off Evander Holyfield's ear in 1997 and his recent foray into the world of film.
Earlier this year he said: "When I see him, he shakes my hand and respects my family. None of them- Barack [Obama], whoever - nobody else does that. They're gonna be who they are and disregard me, my family."

- DON KING: Legendary boxing promoter known for The Rumble in the Jungle and his fantastic hairdo, King has promoted fighters ranging from Muhammad Ali to George Foreman.
He recently caused controversy after using the word n****r when introducing Donald Trump at a church in Cleveland.
During his speech, King praised Trump as "fearless", "courageous and brave" and said he believed Trump would "take this system apart" and "create a whole new system".
Meanwhile, America's first sporting couple, Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen, seem split over claims they are supporting Trump, despite the billionaire's claim to be their personal friend.
Trump has repeatedly brought up his apparent friendship with the New England NFL quarterback on the campaign trail.
But Bundchen, a Brazilian supermodel, denied that, despite Trump claiming Brady called to say he had voted for him.
"Gisele I heard you and Tom were backing Trump! Is that true??" asked one indignant fan on Instagram.
"NO!" Bundchen emphatically replied.
But at a recent rally, Trump was name-dropping his favourite jock.
"Great guy, great friend of mine - great, great champion. Unbelievable winner," Trump said in the key swing state, filled with Patriots fans.
"He called today and he said, 'Donald, I support you, you're my friend, and I voted for you,'" the mogul added.
"And I said, 'So Tom. You voted for me, you support me, am I allowed to say it tonight at this massive crowd in New Hampshire?' He said, 'If you want to say it, you can say it.' Okay? Tom, that's what a champ is all about."
