Tyson Fury wants Donald Trump to lead his ring walk for Anthony Joshua showdown
Tyson Fury plans to ask US President Donald Trump to lead his ring walk before his long-awaited showdown with Anthony Joshua in Cardiff. Fury and Joshua are set to meet at the Principality Stadium on December 11, with the former heavyweight champion hoping to bring his “old buddy” into the biggest British boxing event in years.
Tyson Fury intends to request US President Donald Trump to be present during his ring walk for the upcoming fight against Anthony Joshua at the Principality Stadium on December 11. The two fighters are scheduled to meet in what is expected to be a significant British boxing event. Fury and Joshua are set to face off in Cardiff, with Fury expressing his desire to have his former friend involved in the spectacle.
Although acknowledging the challenge of making the offer due to Trump's role as the president, Fury intends to approach him. The proposed ring walk would enhance the anticipated excitement surrounding the all-British contest. Fury, however, clarifies that Joshua is not his ultimate objective, as he remains focused on challenging Ukrainian heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk, whom he considers his next target.
Despite having already lost to Usyk twice in 2024, Fury remains confident and asserts that the upcoming fight against Joshua is merely a stepping stone towards facing Usyk. He has also trained intensively, completing 12 rounds against Arslanbek Makhmudov and seven against Mariusz Wach, indicating his readiness for another demanding bout.
