The Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua is sure to bring out a litany of famous people. If Fury has his way, President Donald Trump, one of the world’s most recognizable faces, will not only be on hand in Cardiff, but he’ll be a part of his ring walk. Fury has said he plans to ask Trump to participate in his walkout. Let’s talk boxing.

Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua Key Facts

Fury called Trump “my old buddy, old pal, and we’ll see if he’s available,” and admitted to Sky Sports that a yes is probably unlikely given Trump’s duties as president. The two met at UFC Freedom 250 at the White House in June.

This request is a lofty one. It’s not just because Trump will have to actually want to participate. It’s also because having Trump participate on this level will require tons of security and cooperation with the local government and the venue. Fury’s walkouts are always theatrical and having the President of the United States as a part of the process would make this one arguably his most elaborate.

Fury comes into his fight with Joshua on a two-fight win streak. He beat Arslanbek Makhmudov by unanimous decision in April at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium , then stopped Mariusz Wach in seven rounds in Thailand in July. Joshua returned the same week, facing Kristian Prenga in Jeddah on July 25.

Fury’s recent results heading into Joshua.

The fight itself nearly landed somewhere else. Plans to move it to New York stalled in August after Matchroom set its own terms, and Cardiff was confirmed in September.

Fury has made clear what he sees beyond Joshua. He views the fight as a step toward a third meeting with Oleksandr Usyk , who beat him twice in 2024, and said he wants that one in New York City.
