Tyson Fury Wants Donald Trump To Join His Ring Walk For Anthony Joshua Fight
Tyson Fury has revealed that he plans to invite United States President Donald Trump to join him for his ring walk when he faces Anthony Joshua on December 11.
Fury and Joshua will finally meet at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, in one of the most anticipated all-British heavyweight fights in boxing history. The bout will be streamed live globally on Netflix.
Fury has developed a relationship with Trump and met the US president earlier this year at the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House. The former heavyweight champion now wants Trump to make the trip to Wales for his blockbuster showdown with Joshua.
Speaking about the possibility, Fury said: “I’ll definitely make that offer to my old buddy, old pal, and we’ll see if he’s available.”
However, Fury admitted that Trump’s responsibilities as president could make his appearance unlikely.
“Probably unlikely because of the situation he’s in at the moment, being the President of the United States,” Fury added.

Fury Still Has Oleksandr Usyk In His Sights
Fury has made it clear that he believes the Joshua fight is not the final destination of his career.
The 38-year-old former heavyweight champion has twice lost to Oleksandr Usyk and remains determined to complete a trilogy with the Ukrainian. Fury has even described Joshua as a warm-up for another meeting with Usyk.
“I don’t have any intention of retiring after Joshua. I’m using this bum as a warm-up for Usyk,” Fury said.
Fury has also claimed that he is in excellent physical condition heading into the fight after returning to action this year.
Joshua, meanwhile, has also rebuilt his momentum with victories over Jake Paul and Kristian Prenga. The December 11 clash will be the first professional meeting between the two British heavyweights, despite years of negotiations and speculation surrounding the matchup.
Whether Trump accepts Fury’s invitation remains to be seen, but his presence would add another extraordinary element to an already massive night in Cardiff.
