Tyson Fury says a major announcement is coming but he will let Dana White reveal the details. The former unified heavyweight champion told Ring Magazine that the UFC president will do the talking.

“I think I'm going to let Dana [White] do the speaking. I'll let him do the speaking but it's a massive, massive, massive announcement.”

What Tyson Fury said

Fury has been out of the ring since his December loss to Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch. The heavyweight has not confirmed his next move or whether he will retire. White's involvement suggests a crossover angle, though Fury offered no specifics.

What it moves

Fury's decision to hand the microphone to White leaves the boxing world guessing. The announcement could involve a exhibition bout or promotional tie-in. Whatever White unveils, Fury made clear the news is significant enough to warrant a UFC figurehead delivering it.
