Boxing champion Tyson Fury attended the historic UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on Sunday night and he had a very bold message for president Donald Trump on his cap
Boxing legend Tyson Fury 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.
In the lead-up to the cage-fighting spectacular celebrating America’s 250th independence anniversary, the president and UFC boss Dana White strolled together from the Oval Office to the White House balcony overlooking the enormous open-sided structure, dubbed “The Claw”, positioned on the South Lawn.
The national anthem then rang out as fighter jets roared overhead in formation, prompting roars from spectators and chants of “USA, USA”. Trump subsequently settled into his seat near the iconic octagon cage, where seven bouts were scheduled. Amongst the 4,000 attendees at the purpose-built venue was British heavyweight boxing star Tyson Fury.
Moments before Tyson 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.
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.
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.
Tyson’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. Last night Tyson 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.
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.
