Tyson Fury may be headed to Zuffa Boxing.
The former heavyweight champion turned up at a recent UFC event, and Dana White did little to quash speculation that the promotion had signed him. Asked directly whether Fury was joining the Zuffa roster, White responded with a smile and a promise, according to Bad Left Hook.
“We’ll make an announcement soon,” White said. “Listen, let me reiterate: judge me January 1st of 2027 on what we’ve done this year with boxing. All these other guys talking a lot of smack. I haven’t said anything about any of these guys, I haven’t talked sh-t about anybody or any of those stuff. I’m in my lane, I’m doing my thing. Just sit back and watch.”
Fury himself was asked about a potential White partnership but kept his cards close. Neither man confirmed anything outright, but the hints are obvious. White had previously floated that he would have a professional relationship with Fury, making the cageside appearance all the more telling.
Fury is scheduled for a tune-up fight before facing Anthony Joshua later this year, though it remains unclear whether those bouts would fall under a Zuffa banner or his current promotional setup.
