Tyson Fury Extends Invitation to Donald Trump for Ringwalk
The heavyweight champion hopes the former president will join him for his upcoming bout against Anthony Joshua.
Tyson Fury has indicated he plans to invite former President Donald Trump to be part of his ringwalk for his upcoming mega-fight against Anthony Joshua, scheduled for December 11.
The two met in June at the UFC Freedom 250 event held at the White House, where Fury was seen wearing a cap with the slogan "Donald Trump for Prime Minister" alongside a British flag. This gesture was a nod to Trump's signature "Make America Great Again" campaign caps.
Fury expressed his intention to extend the offer to Trump, acknowledging the unlikelihood of his attendance due to his current position. "I'll definitely make that offer to my old buddy, old pal, and we'll see if he's available," Fury stated. "Probably unlikely because of the situation he's in at the moment, being the President of the United States."
The fight, which will take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, will also feature a Fury on Anthony Joshua's side, as Tyson's uncle, Peter Fury, is part of Joshua's training team. Tyson Fury dismissed suggestions that this would give Joshua an advantage, stating he had not spoken to his uncle in years. However, Tyson's father, John Fury, strongly criticized Peter's potential involvement, suggesting it would be a betrayal and hinting at past family estrangements.
Peter Fury, however, confirmed on social media that he had spoken with Joshua about his skill set two months prior and referred to him as "a really nice guy," adding that he would be happy to assist Joshua after his fight, mentioning his work with "Team Usyk."
