Trump Invites Britain’s ‘Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury To The White House
US president Donald J. Trump said he wants Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder to visit the White house after Britain’s ‘Gypsy King’ reclaimed the heavy championship title during a thrilling bout in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
‘That was a great fight’ Trump said, responding to a reporter’s question on the White House lawn on Sunday morning.
The president, who was about to leave with First Lady Melania Trump for an official trip to India, appeared thrilled he was asked and stopped himself to comment just before making his departure.
‘Two great fighters,’ Trump gushed. ‘It was really very exciting.’
Trump began to think aloud about having not just the champion Fury, but also Wilder, as his White House guests.
‘May be we have to bring them both to the White House – I don’t know – because that was really a good one,’ he said in a moment of indecision.
Then he made up his mind about inviting Fury and Wilder, ‘I think we’ll do that,’ and stepped away to leave for his trip to India.
Fury pulled off the greatest victory for any English boxer abroad as he stopped America’s KO king Wilder with an utterly dominant, devastating performance.
The Gypsy King arrived in the ring carried on a golden throne and ascended into the pantheon of all-time heavyweight greats on the wings of genius.
Fury has now completed a full set of the world heavyweight belts by adding Wilder’s WBC title and the Ring Magazine accolade to the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO prizes he held previously after defeating Wladimir Klitschko.
Slow motion cameras captured the heavyweight stars locked in the middle of the ring, with Wilder dazed and delirious after a flurry of jabs.
With blood speckled down the neck of the American, Fury appeared to be flexing his tongue and tasting his handy work.
The strange moment arrived in the sixth round, just as Wilder was teetering on the edge of oblivion.
Fury continued to take apart the American in the seventh, only for Wilder’s corner and the referee to bring an end to the sensational contest.
