TYSON FURY claims he got a surprise phone call for former US president – and fan – Donald Trump.
Trump is a fighting nut and invited Fury to the White House after his dramatic rematch win over Deontay Wilder last year.
The start of the Covid-19 pandemic halted any plans for an official visit by the unbeaten star.
But, according to the Gypsy King, the pair have made up for lost time with a chat over the blower.
Fury posted an Instagram Story which said: “Just got off the phone with Donald Trump.
“What a nice surprise from my pal Hughie Vuitton. Thanks boys enjoy your lunch guys.”
It is not the first time Trump has crossed over into the world of sport with the avid golfer playing a practice round with Rory McIlroy during his presidency.
And the 75-year-old may even be in attendance when Fury takes on Wilder once again in their delayed trilogy bout in October.

The bout was initially set for July 24 but was postponed after a Covid outbreak in the champ Fury’s camp.
Fury, 32, has not been in action since his stunning stoppage win over Wilder in Las Vegas last year.
And hopes of a huge unification fight with Anthony Joshua were scuppered after Wilder was ruled to have the right to a trilogy fight with Fury by an arbitration judge.
