"I can categorically tell you" - Tyson Fury manager reveals truth behind Zuffa Boxing claims

Tyson Fury's manager insists the Gypsy King has not signed a deal with Zuffa Boxing amid the wide speculation he could change representatives.

The former heavyweight champion was a special guest at the UFC White House event over the weekend, where he teased a 'massive announcement' from Zuffa Boxing and UFC president Dana White.

Asked if he had an announcement to make involving White, the 37-year-old cryptically stated: "I think I'm going to let Dana do the speaking, but it is a massive, massive announcement."

Fury is still signed to Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions but stated White would be part of his promotion for his highly anticipated fight with Anthony Joshua. He later took to social media to state he would also be promoted by Saudi Arabian powerhouse Turki Alalshikh for the rest of his career.

Zuffa Boxing, which is backed by Saudi Arabian funding, hopes to rival the established Boxing promoters and has already poached Conor Benn from Eddie Hearn's Matchroom.

Back in February, Warren stated he was considering legal action over the launch of Zuffa, while White has previously had multiple disputes with Hearn.

The UFC President previously claimed he wanted to change the Muhammad Ali Act, a law designed to protect boxers' rights and combat potential monopolies within the sport.

However, Fury's manager, Spencer Brown, is adamant that no agreement has been signed and played down the British boxer's recent behaviour as merely speculation.

"Look, Dana White is a very, very clever individual. He is a very clever man. You don't get where you got, not being clever," Brown told iFL TV.

"Not only that, he has got a presence about him, and he's one of the most recognisable men in the world now in combat sport, boxing, whatever you want to say.

"He is very clever with what he said.

"I can categorically tell you that we haven't signed any deals with Zuffa. Nothing's changed; there is no change.

"We are in a fight with Anthony Joshua, which Turki Alalshikh, Sela and Netflix are doing.

"Whether things change, I don't know. The statement Eddie Hearn put out was correct. Would Eddie lie about something like that? Because he was behind signing the contract. He would have done that, negotiated with Sela and Turki's people.

"We know what our contract is; we are very happy with it. If things were to change, we'd have to renegotiate the contract and do things all over again.

"Is there a possibility someone else might get involved? Who knows: it's Boxing."
