TYSON FURY returned to America for the first time in almost five years and shook hands with Donald Trump at UFC Freedom 250.
The Gypsy King, 37, made a grand entrance at the one-off event held on the White House lawn, sauntering out to ‘Sex on Fire’ while wearing a black and yellow suit and a cap that said: “Donald Trump for Prime Minister”.
Fury then met up with Trump, UFC president Dana White and billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, and posed for a snap that was posted to Instagram.
He captioned it: “Power pic. @realdonaldtrump @danawhite @zuck no words needed!”
It is the first time Fury has been in the States since his knockout win over Deontay Wilder in October 2021.
And the 6ft 9in slugger credited boxing big shot Turki Alalshikh for making it happen.
He said in a video recording: “Tyson Fury here, the Gypsy King. Just stepped foot on US soil.
“It’s been five and a half years since I knocked out that big bum dosser Deontay Wilder – and I’m back! The smell of freedom is in the air.
“Big shout out to Turki Alalshikh for making this happen. Get up! God bless you all, come on!”
Alalshikh responded on social media: “You are welcome my brother @tysonfury welcome back to America.
“Big announcement coming by us about your fight against @anthonyjoshua @ringmagazine @netflix.”
Fury also teased a major announcement after his glitzy White House entrance.
The veteran fighter is set to scrap Anthony Joshua at the end of the year but his manager, Spencer Brown, has told SunSport that a warm-up bout will take place in Ireland on August 1.
Fury said from Washington DC: “I think I’m going to let Dana do the speaking and let him do his announcement. Massive, massive, massive announcement.”
