Article text

Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua announcement LIVE as Dana White reveals all Tyson Fury rocked up in Washington DC and was cageside at the White House for the UFC Freedom 250 event - but he has news of his own UFC CEO Dana White is set to announce he has signed Tyson Fury to his Zuffa Boxing outfit - a move which could have major ramifications for Fury's fight with Anthony Joshua. Fury jetted into Washington DC - the first time he has been in America since 2021 - to attend the UFC Freedom 250 card at the White House on Sunday night. After making his walk to his seat, he revealed he and White have an announcement to make, although the fighter declined to elaborate. Fury's potential move to White comes after a bitter row between the UFC chief and Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn who insists White will have nothing to do with the all-British showdown which is still without a date and location. We will bring you all the latest news right here... Assuming Fury has signed with Zuffa, he could make his debut on August 8 in Dublin before turning his attention to AJ. "I have a potential fight in August; I'm looking forward to fighting whoever they put in front of me and getting back to what I do best, winning," he added. "I'm very, very excited for this fight it's been over a decade in the making and for whatever reason it hasn't happened before so let's hope it happens right now, very soon." "I think I'm going to let Dana do the speaking, let him do his announcement but it's a massive, massive announcement." Dana White will host a press conference after the UFC fights, at around 6.15am UK time. He is expected to explain all then. Fury said as he arrived at the White House: "It's been a long time and boy oh boy am I happy to be here at this historic event, freedom at the White House and Donald Trump's birthday." Tyson Fury flew into Washington DC today; he's not there for the World Cup or to see the Washington Monument. He is expected to announce he has agreed a deal with Dana White which explains why the UFC chief has been adamant he will be the promoter of Fury vs Joshua. But the big question is whether White will reveal WHERE Joshua vs Fury will be held. Some speculation on social media suggests he will announce Las Vegas as the host, which would annoy a lot of people and contradict Eddie Hearn's claim that the fight must take place in the UK. We will bring you everything we know or think we know but maybe don't know about Tyson Fury, Dana White, Anthony Joshua, Eddie Hearn and everything inbetween. Stay tuned for what could be an exciting few hours...
