Tyson Fury told the Independent that he will ask US President Donald Trump to walk him to the ring for his upcoming heavyweight bout with Anthony Joshua at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on 11 December, according to a press conference on 3 October.

What happened

The fight, billed as the ‘Battle of Britain’, was announced after a largely cordial press conference on 30 September. Fury, who previously appeared at a UFC event at the White House wearing a "Donald Trump for Prime Minister" hat, said he will make a personal offer to the president. He acknowledged that Trump’s availability is uncertain because of his duties as US president.

What the reports add

The Independent notes that Fury’s interest in a Trump ring‑walk follows a July White House cameo that was complicated by earlier US visa issues linked to alleged Irish crime figure Daniel Kinahan. Fury claimed those issues were resolved through joint effort by Trump and UFC chief Dana White. The article also mentions that Fury dismissed concerns about the cold Welsh night, citing his 2022 WWE appearance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which had a heated roof.

What was said

Fury said: "Definitely. I'll make that offer to my old buddy, old pal, and we'll see if he's available. Probably unlikely because of the situation he's in at the moment, being the President of the United States," as reported by the Independent.
He added, "It's got a roof on and it's got heating, so it won't be cold, so it won't even feel like Spurs," referring to his 2022 wrestling event.

How it came about

The idea follows Fury’s long‑standing advocacy for Trump and his recent involvement in US‑UK boxing politics, including a dispute over Dana White’s role in the fight that has been covered by Felo News in recent weeks.
