Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder might meet again sooner than expected — inside the Oval Office.
President Trump, who watched the much-ballyhooed Wilder-Fury rematch on Saturday, told reporters that he is considering inviting both heavyweights to the White House.
“That was a great fight,” Trump said outside the White House on Sunday before leaving on a trip to India. “Two great fighters who are really, really exciting. Maybe we have to bring them both to the White House because that was really a good one.
“In fact, I think we will do that.”
The uncharacteristically aggressive Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) stopped Wilder in the seventh round at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas to become the newest titleholder in the division.
Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) has the option of calling for a third fight, as per their contract.
