“Tommy is a real fighter,” Fury said IFLTV.
“I’d like [WBC president] Mauricio Sulaiman to place him in the top 15 in the lightweight heavyweight or cruiserweight division.
“I think Tommy would put up a good fight against Noel Mikaelian.
“I think Tommy has the potential to beat him.
“Tommy comes from the Fury family. Substantial name, many fans.
“He earned a top-15 ranking by beating Jake Paul and should be able to do that again.
“I think there might be a world title opportunity for Tommy next.”
The 37-year-old was at the White House on Sunday at the UFC Freedom 250 gala.
“The Gypsy King” was photographed with Zuffa Boxing boss Dana White, who claimed he would be promoting his fight against Anthony Joshua.
Fury teased White’s “massive announcement,” but the 56-year-old refused to reveal it when speaking to reporters after the event.
“Over the last few weeks, I have heard from the media and others that I am not involved in the fight,” the 56-year-old said.
“I heard that Tyson Fury couldn’t leave the country or enter the United States, but it seems like everyone is always wrong.
“We will announce it soon.”

Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez became a three-weight world champion in Arizona, winning the WBA bantamweight title with a dominant sixth-round knockout of Antonio Vargas.
Rodriguez (24-0, KO17) was previously a flyweight and super flyweight world champion and last dropped in November 2025, defeating Fernando Martinez in ten rounds to defend his WBC and WBO super flyweight crowns.
Vargas (19-2-1 KO11) won the WBA interim belt in 2024 and was promoted to full champion, but his first defense in Japan ended in a draw last July when he and Daigo Higa could not be separated.
Rodriguez used his speed and legs to get off to a good start on this one, his jab went well and he also had a nice uppercut that landed on target.
Vargas wobbled in the second, a powerful left hand did damage, and Rodriguez also unloaded with huge shots.
Vargas fired back and the combination landed at the end of the frame.
Vargas had a solid third, with his own head and body landing combinations, but Bam came back, supporting Vargas in the fourth and forcing the champion to take some punches.
This marked the beginning of the enda powerful left hand dropped Vargas in the fifth throw, and Vargas was now in survival mode, landing another uppercut before boldly ending the round.
In the sixth, it was over, a huge left hand rocking Vargas and a right-left combination, leaving Vargas on his knees and then on his back for a countout.
Elif Nur Turhan vs. Gabriela Tellez
On the card, Elif Nur Turhan (14-0, KO8) defended her IBF lightweight title, but had to work tough before scoring against Gabriela Tellez (7-1, KO3).
Three scores of 96-94 ensured that the Turkish woman retained her crown.
Undercard remaining
Arturo Cardenas (18-0-2, KO9) defended his WBC Continental Americas super bantamweight title, defeating Jordan Martinez (16-1-1, KO15) in ten rounds.
The scores of 100-90, 98-92 and 97-93 sealed the victory for Cardenas.

Elias Montoya Terraza (14-0, KO9) won the undefeated lightweight fight, defeating Adrian Rodriguez (10-1, KO6) by stoppage in the second round.
In eight-round fights, Ronny Alvarez (7-0, KO6) defeated Filip Stankovic (9-4, KO6) in the seventh round, and Trini Ochoa (22-1, KO10) defeated Cristian Perez (12-5-1, KO7) in the second round in the super lightweight category.
Hector Beltran (8-0, KO6) defeated Shaquile Felicia (3-2, KO1) in the second round in the super welterweight fight, and Xechal Esquiviel (6-0, KO5) knocked out Rayshawn Taylor (1-2-1, KO1) in the featherweight fight.

Eddie Hearn has once again insisted that Dana White will not be involved in promoting the Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury match.
Joshua, who has been promoted by Hearn’s Matchroom since his debut, has signed a contract to fight Fury, with their long-awaited heavyweight fight expected to take place in November.
Hearn claims the contract stipulates that White’s Zuffa Boxing – which is partly owned by Saudi Arabia’s Seli – will not be allowed to play any role in the superfight, even though the UFC boss has promised to promote it.
White doubled down on these comments when pressed Professional boxing fans following his inaugural appearance at British Zuffa in Bournemouth on Saturday.
“Do you think I would lie in public and make myself look like an idiot in front of everyone?” – said the 56-year-old.
“Do you believe I would do that?
“What would be the point?
“Call Eddie now and ask if he knows where the fight is.
“Call Eddie and ask who negotiated the contract for this fight.”
Hearn and White have been embroiled in a public feud since the latter stole Hearn’s prized acquisition, Conor Benn, from Zuffa.
The Matchroom chairman slammed his promotional rival, claiming White played no role in the negotiations and it was agreed that the fight would take place in the UK.
“Dana White had nothing to do with the fight negotiations,” Hearn said IFLTV.
“It was agreed between me, Sela and the entire legal team there.
“He talked to [Saudi Arabian boxing chief] Turki Alalshikh and told him that he should play with Fury against AJ in Las Vegas.
“There is a very clear clause in the contract that Zuffa, Dana White, TKO or anyone associated with them cannot participate in the program.
“The second thing that is in the contract was at the request of Anthony Joshua and me [Matchroom] the fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury must take place in the UK.”

Earlier this week, Boxing Scene reported that SoFi Stadium in California was being considered as a potential venue for the fight.
Hearn said the location was in Alalshikh’s hands and the contract would have to be renegotiated if the deal went to the US.
“If they want to renegotiate the contract, sign the contract again,” he added.
“We can look into it.
“But we agreed to this fight, we signed a contract for this fight, the biggest fight in the history of British boxing, because we want this fight to take place in the UK.”
Joshua will return for the first time since then knocking out Jake Paul in December, when he will face Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Riyad.
The 36-year-old took a break from boxing after he was involved in a horrific car crash 10 days later that killed two of his close friends and left him with minor injuries.
The two-time world heavyweight champion returned to a training camp in Spain with former rival turned stablemate Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury, who retired in April to beat Arslanbek Makhmudov, is also expected to fight before fighting “AJ” in August.
