Tyson Fury Invites President Trump to Lead Ring Walk Before Fight with Anthony Joshua

Tyson Fury has expressed his intention to invite United States President Donald Trump to lead his ring walk before his fight with Anthony Joshua on December 11 in Cardiff. Fury stated, "I’ll definitely make that offer to my old buddy, old pal, and we’ll see if he’s available," according to British media reports on Saturday. He acknowledged that it is "probably unlikely" due to Trump's current responsibilities as president. The fight is scheduled to take place at the Principality Stadium, which has a capacity of 80,000. Fury previously met Trump at UFC Freedom 250 at the White House in June and wore a cap that read "Donald Trump for Prime Minister" after his US travel ban was lifted. Fury emphasized that his match with Joshua is a preparation for a future trilogy fight against Oleksandr Usyk, who has defeated him twice. He stated, "I don’t have any intention of retiring after Joshua. I’m using this as a warm-up for Usyk," and added, "I can guarantee that on the night when I knock him spark out, he won’t know what time it is. And then I want the rabbit [Usyk] in New York City." Fury also mentioned his training regimen, stating, "This year will be the most active year for me since 2018. I’ve done 12 rounds with a 6-foot-8-inch [262cm] Arslanbek Makhmudov, and I’ve done seven rounds with another 6ft-7in behemoth in Mariusz Wach. Let’s not pull any punches here. I’m firing on all cylinders at the moment. I feel fantastic. I’m 38 years young."
