Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury has a new job in mind for Donald Trump for when the President finishes his second term in the Oval Office.

The British boxer made a surprise appearance at the historic UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on Sunday night, joining Trump, First Lady Melania Trump and a host of MAGA royalty on the South Lawn.

Fury made his entrance after the second fight of the night, walking out to the Kings of Leon hit ‘Sex on Fire’ in a matching blazer and pants with his ‘Gypsy King’ logo printed in gold across the design.

However, the most eye-catching piece of his attire was his cap which featured a particularly bold message of support for the President.

‘Donald Trump for Prime Minister,’ it ready alongside an embroidered British flag. 

The slogan was a nod to Trump’s signature red ‘Make America Great Again’ caps, which he sported throughout his election campaigns.

The fighter then joined a UFC commentator cageside where he teased an announcement with Dana White, moments after talking to president Trump.

Fury also told the crowd that he would like to fight Anthony Joshua in the future, further fueling the decade-long saga surrounding the two boxers. 

Moments before Fury emerged, Trump was greeted by a chorus of trumpets on the White House’s South Lawn as he sauntered in alongside UFC chief Dana White. 

Other Trump supporters in attendance included billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, NHL stars Matthew and Brady Tkachuk, as well as a number of high-ranking UFC champions. 

And as is usually the case whenever Trump attends UFC events, daughter Ivanka was on hand, as were her brothers, Donald Jr. and Eric, and their their wives, Bettina and Lara. 

Zac Brown Band was then granted the honor of performing The Star-Spangled Banner, before a 12-jet flyover followed as AC/DC’s ‘Thunderstruck’ blared.

The performance drew immediate praise on social media. ‘Tonight’s Rendition of Our National Anthem Was One of the Best Ever – It was Preformed by Country Singer Zac Brown, along with The Marine Band – God Bless America!’, one fan wrote on X. 

‘Zac Brown Band and that flyover. That’s my favorite performance of The National Anthem of all time,’ another delighted fan wrote on the social media platform. 

Meanwhile, Fury’s surprise appearance at the White House came just one day after he sat ringside to watch brother Tommy defeat strongman Eddie Hall in a bout.

The bout, promoted by KSI’s Misfits outfit, was scheduled over six two-minute rounds and went the distance. One scored it as a draw, with two awarding the fight to Fury.
