Tyson Fury names his promoter <\/h2>\n

After five years, Tyson Fury made his triumphant return to America at UFC Freedom 250. <\/p>\n

The 37-year-old got a large introduction and even had his own walkout on the MMA event. <\/p>\n

It appeared like he was there to announce Dana White\u2019s Zuffa Boxing as his recent promoter.<\/p>\n

Fury and the UFC CEO teased impending news, however the night passed by without an announcement.<\/p>\n

The morning after, Fury took to social media and cleared up the confusion about who his promoter is.<\/p>\n

\u201cTurki Alalshikh is the promoter of GK, until I retire,\u201d the Englishman wrote on his Instagram story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTurki Alalshikh, my promoter,\u201d Fury added in a follow-up post.<\/p>\n

When is Tyson Fury\u2019s next fight?<\/h2>\n

Tyson Fury returned from his fifth retirement to beat Arslanbek Makhmudov by unanimous decision in April. <\/p>\n

Since then, he\u2019s signed to box Anthony Joshua in a Netflix fight that may happen within the fourth quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n

There’s currently some confusion about who will promote the fight and where it should happen. <\/p>\n

Dana White claims to be involved within the promotion, but Eddie Hearn insists that\u2019s contractually unimaginable. <\/p>\n

The organizers have a while to work out the logistics while Joshua and Fury take warm-up fights. <\/p>\n

\u2018AJ\u2019 will return to the ring against 20-1 heavyweight Kristian Prenga in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on July 25.<\/p>\n

Fury will compete one month later, but his opponent and fight location haven\u2019t been revealed yet.<\/p>\n
