Tyson Fury reveals US ban was overturned by Donald Trump after Dana White involvement

Tyson Fury has revealed why he is indebted to Dana White after being banned from entering the United States for four years.

Fury fought five times in a row in the United States following his 2018 comeback, including an incredible trilogy with Deontay Wilder.

He then fought on home soil and in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for his next blockbuster bouts and was unable to travel to the US for an extended period.

Tyson Fury gives all credit to Dana White and Donald Trump for overturning his US ban

In June 2022, it was reported that Fury was banned from boarding a flight to the US over amid alleged links to Daniel Kinahan, a boxing advisor and alleged organised crime boss.

At one stage, the US government offered $5million (£3.84 million) for information regarding Kinahan and his alleged group.

Younger brother Tommy was also left unable to travel for a period. Yet back in June, Fury made his first appearance across the pond in more than five years when he made a special entrance at the UFC Freedom 250 card at the White House.

At the time he thanked Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh for "making this happen!", but a few months on and Fury told Mike Coppinger of the Ring Magazine that UFC and Zuffa chief "put it on Donald Trump's table" as his visa issues were finally resolved.

Fury, who is training in South Florida for his superfight with Anthony Joshua, said: "It all got done through Dana, on Donald Trump's table and Donald Trump just went, 'Bang, Tyson's a great guy, come on in!'. And that's how it works. That's how G's go, they make s*** happen."

Unlike Eddie Hearn and Joshua, Fury has therefore welcomed involvement from White in the fight and he claims he changed his contract to ensure he would have a role.

White was not at Wednesday's press conference but his name was booed by fans in attendance.

After Joshua and Fury, he intends to finally hang up the gloves and become a boxing promoter.

"The breakdown of it all is, I want to punch this bum into smithereens, as a warm-up, like I have said,” Fury told IFL TV.

Then I want the trilogy with the rabbit, I have spoken to Alex about it and he’s up for it next year, early, first quarter next year.

“The icing on the cake of a long, luxurious career: Anthony Joshua at Cardiff, then Oleksandr Usyk at Madison Square Garden. that will be it.

“Then, I’ll come join Frank Warren and become the greatest promoters the world has ever seen.”
