Tyson Fury sent Donald Trump a fiery message of support Friday after the US president’s disastrous White House press conference with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The peace talks between Ukraine and Russia came to a screeching halt in Washington DC when Trump kicked Zelensky out of the White House following a blistering shouting match between the two leaders.
The tense war of words that played out inside the Oval Office Friday quickly went off the rails when Trump took offense of how Zelensky treated his vice president JD Vance in front of the cameras.
And British boxer Fury appeared to relish Trump’s outburst, capturing the moment on his Instagram story.
The 36-year-old, who retired from the ring last year, shared a clip of the heated exchange to the social media platform with a rallying message for the US Commander-in-Chief.
‘Come on @realdonaldtrump sort it out baby,’ wrote ‘The Gypsy King.’
Fury continued to show his support for Trump, later posting a screenshot of the 47th president’s statement on the war of words.
‘Viva Trump,’ Fury added, ‘stop the wars. @realdonaldtrump = peace in the world.’
Zelensky had arrived at the White House with Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk’s world heavyweight belt. Whether it was the real belt or a replica remains unclear.
Trump threatened to abandon Ukraine completely if Zelensky did not agree to his peace terms. He also accused Zelensky of not being grateful.
Zelensky held his own, even showing Trump photos he brought of the devastation to his country, and arguing he had thanked the American people.
