Tyson Fury signals Zuffa Boxing involvement in Joshua bout

British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury strongly indicated that UFC President Dana White and his Zuffa Boxing promotional venture will be involved in his long-awaited fight against Anthony Joshua, following a surprise appearance at a White House event over the weekend.

Fury attended the UFC Freedom 250 fight card, staged on the South Lawn of the White House on Sunday, June 14. During an interview at the event, Fury teased a major announcement involving White, stating he would let the UFC president reveal the details. He confirmed there was "100 percent potential" that he would be fighting under the Zuffa promotion for the bout with Joshua, a matchup that has been discussed for over a decade but never finalized. Fury suggested a timeline, mentioning a potential fight in August and the possibility of the Joshua fight happening by the end of the year.

After the event, which featured a lightweight title bout won by Justin Gaethje, White was questioned about whether Fury had signed with Zuffa. He did not give a direct confirmation but stated, "We'll make an announcement soon," and told observers to judge his boxing venture by January 2027.
