Tyson Fury confirms Dana White will not be his promoter despite teasing link-up at UFC White House event

Tyson Fury made a surprise appearance on the UFC White House show on Sunday.

The previous two-time heavyweight world champion boxer hadn’t visited the US since beating Deontay Wilder of their 2021 trilogy bout.

‘The Gypsy King’ was reportedly banned from entering the country as a consequence of his alleged links to Daniel Kinahan, a boxing advisor who was arrested earlier this 12 months.

Now that Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury is finally signed, how excited are you?

Tyson Fury names his promoter

After five years, Tyson Fury made his triumphant return to America at UFC Freedom 250.

The 37-year-old got a large introduction and even had his own walkout on the MMA event.

It appeared like he was there to announce Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing as his recent promoter.

Fury and the UFC CEO teased impending news, however the night passed by without an announcement.

The morning after, Fury took to social media and cleared up the confusion about who his promoter is.

“Turki Alalshikh is the promoter of GK, until I retire,” the Englishman wrote on his Instagram story.

“Turki Alalshikh, my promoter,” Fury added in a follow-up post.

Where does Freedom 250 rank among the many best UFC events ever?

Joe Rogan labelled it the ‘best night in combat sports history’

When is Tyson Fury’s next fight?

Tyson Fury returned from his fifth retirement to beat Arslanbek Makhmudov by unanimous decision in April.

Since then, he’s signed to box Anthony Joshua in a Netflix fight that may happen within the fourth quarter of 2026.

There’s currently some confusion about who will promote the fight and where it should happen.

Dana White claims to be involved within the promotion, but Eddie Hearn insists that’s contractually unimaginable.

The organizers have a while to work out the logistics while Joshua and Fury take warm-up fights.

‘AJ’ will return to the ring against 20-1 heavyweight Kristian Prenga in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on July 25.

Fury will compete one month later, but his opponent and fight location haven’t been revealed yet.
