Fury wants 'old pal' President Trump for Joshua ringwalk
US President Donald Trump and British boxer Tyson Fury met earlier this year
Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury plans to ask US president Donald Trump to lead his ringwalk before fighting Anthony Joshua.
Fury and Joshua are set to meet in an long-awaiting all-British bout at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on 11 December.
Trump and Fury met at UFC Freedom 250 at the White House in June.
The Manchester-born fighter wore a cap emblazoned with the words "Donald Trump for Prime Minister" after his US travel ban was lifted by the 80-year-old.
"I'll definitely make that offer to my old buddy, old pal, and we'll see if he's available," said 38-year-old Fury.
"Probably unlikely because of the situation he's in at the moment, being the President of the United States."
Fury also said his match with Joshua, 36, is preparation for a third meeting with Oleksandr Usyk.
Ukraine's Usyk twice defeated Fury in 2024 and is unbeaten in 25 professional fights.
Fury said he had "no intention" of retiring after fighting Joshua and views the contest with his compatriot as a "warm-up for Usyk".
