Fury wants 'old pal' President Trump for Joshua ring walk

Tyson Fury, the former heavyweight champion, intends to request US President Donald Trump to preside over his entrance during the upcoming bout with Anthony Joshua. The two British fighters are scheduled to clash at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on December 11. Fury and Trump connected in June at the White House, where Fury donned a cap bearing the slogan "Donald Trump for Prime Minister" following the lifting of his US travel ban by the 80-year-old.

The Manchester native expressed his intention to extend an offer to his "old pal" Fury, though he acknowledged the President's busy schedule. Fury further stated that the Joshua match serves as a preparatory event for a potential third encounter with Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk, who has dominated Fury in their previous two meetings.

Fury has no plans to retire after the Joshua fight and sees it as a warm-up for a future showdown with Usyk. He confidently predicts victory over Joshua and aims to face Usyk in New York City. This year marks the most active period in Fury's career since 2018, with several intense training sessions, including a grueling 12-round bout with Arslanbek Makhmudov and a 7-round session with Mariusz Wach.
