Tyson Fury Retires from Boxing, Next Stop WWE?


Tyson Fury, the renowned heavyweight boxer famously known as “The Gypsy King,” has officially announced his retirement from professional boxing. In a heartfelt video shared on Instagram, Fury delivered a concise but emotional farewell message to his fans:

“I’m going to make this short and sweet. I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing. It’s been a blast. I’ve loved every single minute of it. I’m going to end with this – Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody, see you on the other side.”

This announcement marks another milestone in a career defined by extraordinary highs and unexpected twists. Fury had previously retired in 2022 following a decisive victory over Dillian Whyte but later returned to the ring to defeat Derek Chisora later that year.

At 36, Fury leaves the sport following two consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk. If this retirement is final, Fury concludes his illustrious career with a record of 34 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw. Among his many accomplishments are multiple heavyweight championships, including the WBC heavyweight title and The Ring magazine’s heavyweight title.

Tyson Fury’s WWE Journey

Beyond his boxing achievements, Tyson Fury has made a significant impact in professional wrestling through his collaborations with WWE. He debuted with the promotion in October 2019 on an episode of SmackDown, where he confronted Braun Strowman. This encounter culminated in a high-profile match at the Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia later that month, which Fury won. Since then, his WWE appearances have been sporadic yet memorable.

In 2022, Fury made a surprise appearance at the Clash at the Castle event and went toe-to-toe with none other than Roman Reigns.

Despite ongoing speculation about potential appearances at major WWE events like the Royal Rumble or WrestleMania, logistical challenges—such as legal issues impacting his ability to travel to the United States—have reportedly complicated these plans.

Nonetheless, Fury has expressed strong enthusiasm for future collaborations with WWE, citing his lifelong passion for professional wrestling. As he steps away from boxing, fans are eager to see whether Fury might dedicate more time to WWE, potentially trading his boxing gloves for wrestling boots.

Tyson Fury Addresses WWE Future After Clash at the Castle

Logan Paul Teases Boxing Showdown With Tyson Fury’s Father John

WWE Superstar Logan Paul could find himself back in the world of boxing soon after being challenged by Tyson Fury’s father John Fury. On Instagram, the elder Fury threw out the challenge for next year, when his son Tommy Fury faces Jake Paul.

“Tommy will fight Jake by January or February, and I’ll fight you. You’re younger and heavier, but I’ll let my punches go. Critics can say what they like, but I’ll prove them wrong.”

This post caught the attention of Paul, who responded in the comments by saying “Start training.” While neither man has set a date, it appears that a showdown could be in the future for the pair.

Paul hasn’t competed in WWE since SummerSlam 2024, where his lengthy reign as United States Champion was ended by LA Knight. Paul has impressed even his fiercest of critics since making his WWE in-ring debut in 2022, and currently has a win/loss record of 7-8. In boxing, Paul has competed in two professional fights, and boasts a 1-1 record, and fought Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather in June 2021 in an exhibition match.

The Fury family are no strangers to pro wrestling, with Tyson Fury defeating Braun Strowman via count-out at WWE Crown Jewel 2019. In 2022, Fury once again showed the impact of his devastating punches, as he KO’d Austin Theory at Clash At The Castle, preventing A-Town Down from cashing in his Money in the Bank contract.

Tyson Fury Addresses WWE Future After Clash at the Castle

With Paul being busy with WWE, his YouTube channel, and PRIME (as well as a series of lawsuits) it remains to be seen whether he can fit in a fight with John Fury. If so, then the match would no-doubt receive major coverage, as Logan Paul continues to drum up interest wherever he goes.

Tyson Fury Hoping For WWE Return ‘Soon’

Tyson Fury sounds eager to get back into the WWE ring.

Fury has worked with WWE before and is a big fan of the professional wrestling juggernaut. Speaking in a recent interview with GiveMeSport, Fury explained that he’s hoping to get back in the WWE ring soon, claiming he has heard the company is planning a Clash At The Castle II event coming up.

“I’m hoping to get back in there soon,” Fury said. “They’re doing Clash at the Castle 2 soon I think so I’m looking at maybe getting back in there. I’m looking at taking that heavyweight title for sure. If Roman Reigns vacates or something then maybe me and Drew can finally get that battle on.”

Fury first worked with WWE back in 2019 when he faced off against Braun Strowman at WWE Crown Jewel. The boxing World Champion won the contest via count out.

WWE would love to work with Fury again, and more often, however, it has been reported that Fury is banned from entering the United States due to alleged ties with suspected Irish Mafia boss Daniel Kinahan.

With that being said, Fury has since denied having any involvement with Kinahan or his alleged activities.

Tyson Fury Refusing to Look Vulnerable in WWE (Report)

Tyson Fury spent years establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with in professional, and don’t expect him to look any weaker in WWE.

Fury debuted for WWE in 2019 and defeated Braun Strowman via count out at that year’s Crown Jewel event.

Fury was in attendance at WWE Clash at the Castle in September of this year and prevented then Mr. Money in the Bank Austin Theory from cashing in.

It was reported this month that WWE is eager to have Fury appear at next month’s Royal Rumble event and possibly work a match at WrestleMania 39.

Banned

WWE and Fury may be eager to work together, but that is easier said than done.

It has been claimed that Fury is banned from entering the United States due to alleged ties with suspected Irish Mafia boss Daniel Kinahan.

A “major WWE source” told Dave Meltzer that Fury’s alleged ban isn’t something being talked about backstage.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter adds that Fury could lose out on millions of dollars if he cannot make it to WWE’s event.

The Kinahan allegation prevented Fury’s younger brother Tommy Fury from entering the U.S. for a fight with Jake Paul earlier this year.

Tyson Fury has denied any involvement with Kinahan or his alleged activity.

Putting Stars Over

Tyson Fury in WWE may seem like a longshot at this time, but his working with the company would bring its own problems.

The same strong source claimed that Fury would be unwilling to put other talents over, or even look vulnerable if he was to compete.

The source questioned the sense of having Fury as a possible surprise name in the Men’s Rumble match, given the fortune WWE would pay him for mere minutes of in-ring action.

WWE’s Plans for Tyson Fury at Royal Rumble & WrestleMania in Doubt Due to Visa Issues

Via issues may derail WWE’s plans for Tyson Fury at the Royal Rumble next month and WrestleMania 39 in April. 

The US Sun reports that WWE was planning to have Fury make a Royal Rumble appearance and work a match at WrestleMania, but that Fury’s issues entering the country are in the way. Those hopes are looking “slim and complicated.” 

The boxing superstar cannot enter the US because of links to alleged Irish mob boss Daniel Kinahan, who co-founded MTK Global, which represented Fury. It was shut down in April when Kinahan was hit with sanctions regarding his alleged crimes. 

Fury is among over 600 people with connections to Kinahan who are believed to be banned from entering the country.

Originally, Fury was set to face Jake Paul in a fight in New York City, but that had to be pushed back because Fury could not get into the country for the match, having appeared in a picture with Kinahan in February. Fury has said he has nothing to do with Kinahan.

“Because I had my picture taken with a man, it doesn’t make me a criminal. I’m just a boxer. There could be a criminal in this building.”

Fury-WWE Connection

An insider told the outlet, “Tyson is well loved at the WWE, and him popping up in any match, and a run to Wrestlemania would generate huge headlines and fan interest. However, his immigration status is proving tricky to deal with. Tyson and the legal team or getting this whole grey and tricky area resolved. But non-entry, quite simply put, means non-payment.”

The source continued, “And people may not believe this but turning up for a match or being part of the shows, not even fighting, earns him several million dollars. So this issue with his working visa in the States is costing him a large amount of cash. The WWE works with foreign athletes all the time in aiding their visa processing for appearances. The legal team are on the sidelines offering support in this matter, but ultimately getting approval is on Tyson’s head and how US immigration assesses his case.”

This source noted that Fury working matches in Saudi Arabia is always possible. Fury faced Braun Strowman at WWE Crown Jewel in 2019, which marked his pro wrestling in-ring debut and his only match to date in addition to appearing at Clash of the Castle in September.

Tyson Fury Wants WWE Tag Team Match With Jake & Logan Paul

Boxing star Tyson Fury is ready to get back in a WWE ring if it means getting his hands on Jake and Logan Paul.

In 2019, Fury competed in his first (and to date, only) WWE match, defeating Braun Strowman at that year’s Crown Jewel Premium Live Event via count out.

Fury’s most recent appearance came at WWE Clash at the Castle in September of this year, preventing then-Mr. Money in the Bank Austin Theory from cashing in.

The Paul Brothers

In the years since Crown Jewel 2019, Fury has teased a return to WWE, something the promotion’s management would love to see.

Speaking to Boxing Social this past week, Fury again expressed his excitement at a return to the WWE ring.

“I can’t wait, smashing a chair on somebody’s head.”

Tyson Fury.

When asked about a tag-team match, pitting the Pauls against Tyson and his father, the former boxer John Fury, the ‘Gypsy King’ was on board.

“Yeah that sounds good, let’s do it!”

Tyson Fury.

This past weekend, Fury retained the WBC World Heavyweight Championship and dominated Derek Chisora before the referee stopped the fight in the tenth round.

Fury’s Other Match

Tyson Fury may have his sights set on the Paul brothers, but Drew McIntyre is also a potential opponent for the Boxing megastar.

Over the years, both McIntyre and Fury have teased a match that would take place at a WWE Premium Live Event in the United Kingdom.

While both men appeared at Clash at the Castle, they didn’t come to blows but instead serenaded the crowd in Cardiff, Wales to close out the show.

Drew McIntyre Believes Tyson Fury is “Custom Fit” for WWE

Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has aligned with his old friend Sheamus and The Brawling Brutes in their battle against The Bloodline leading into WWE Survivor Series WarGames.

The Bloodline brutally attacked Sheamus on a recent edition of the blue brand and sent him to a “local medical facility” (hospital). The Celtic Warrior returned last week and helped The Brawling Brutes against Roman Reigns, The Usos and Solo Sikoa.

As of now, there has not been a men’s WarGames match announced for the premium live event on November 26th. It seems likely that it will be the Brutes versus Bloodline at Survivor Series in a WarGames match.

Sheamus, Butch, Ridge Holland, and Drew McIntyre still need one more superstar on their team if it does turn into a WarGames match. McIntyre sang a tune with boxer Tyson Fury after his loss to Roman Reigns at Clash at the Castle and perhaps he could be the final member of the squad for WarGames.

Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Drew said that he’d love to see Tyson Fury in WWE one day. McIntyre added that Tyson would fight in the company after he decides to hang up his boxing gloves.

Oh, a hundred percent [Fury is perfect for WWE]. Tyson and I go from arguing with each other on social media to singing with each other in Cardiff to make sure the fans go home happy, no matter how I felt personally in the moment.

You’ve gotta sometimes swallow your pride and make sure the fans are happy. But Tyson gets it, he’s an entertainer, he’s top of his field, and when he chooses to hang up the boxing gloves, he’s very much custom fit for WWE.

Tyson Fury “Enamored As Ever” Wanting to Wrestle for WWE

Boxing star Tyson Fury defeated Braun Strowman by count-out at WWE Crown Jewel 2019 to make his pro-wrestling debut. He hasn’t wrestled since, but Triple H has shared some insight into Fury’s future. 

When Theory attempted to cash in his Money in the Bank contract during the main event of the Clash at the Castle event in the UK, he was punched by Fury and Following Drew McIntyre’s loss to Roman Reigns, Fury also spoke with Reigns and sang with McIntyre in the ring. 

Triple H is Waiting on Tyson Fury’s Decision

In an interview with The Sporting News, Triple H spoke about the possibility of celebrities like Fury and Dwight Howard wrestling for the WWE. 

“I think Tyson Fury is chomping at the bit to get in the ring. The question is, which ring will he get into? Is it going to be the boxing ring? Is it going to be the WWE ring? We were just together in Cardiff. We had a long talk about it. He’s as enamored as ever in wanting to do this with us. I think he knows he’s got a few big fights left in him in the boxing world. I think he’s going to capitalize on those fights as you are hearing. You know, talks about [Oleksandr] Usyk, talks about Anthony Joshua. Selfishly I want him to come work with us, also, selfishly, I want to see those fights. So I hope he knocks those out and I hope he stays interested because I do think with the dedication and the drive that he had to do what we do I think he could do something special with us as well.”

Tyson Fury Addresses WWE Future After Clash at the Castle

Tyson Fury made an impact at Saturday’s WWE Clash at the Castle event from Cardiff, Wales. During the main event clash between Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre, Austin Theory’s theme music hit and the crowd erupted. Theory raced to the ring, referee in tow, to capitalize on Reigns being worn down by a grueling match. Before he could officially cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase, Tyson Fury stood up from his ringside seat and connected with a punch that knocked Theory senseless.

Reigns went on to win the match. To the surprise of the rabid crowd, Fury entered the ring and went face-to-face with the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Fury congratulated Reings on his win and they shook hands. Fury took a microphone, praised Drew McIntyre and led the crowd in singing American Pie to end the show.

Tyson Fury Open to Wrestling for WWE

After Clash at the Castle went off the air, WWE held a press conference for the media to ask questions of talent who appeared on the event. Tyson Fury participated, alongside Drew McIntyre and Triple H. A reporter asked Fury about his future with WWE.

Fury explained that he is a heavyweight boxing champion and won’t be hanging up his gloves anytime soon. However, he “really, really has a passion for WWE” and says there’s a real possibility that he will get back into a WWE ring at some point in the future.

“You know what, at the moment I’m a heavyweight world champion and I’ve got plenty of fights I’ve got to take care of in the next few years. But, I really really have a passion for WWE. As you see, me being at Crown Jewel and a couple of other events as well. Never say never. Lets just say, Triple H is here and I’ll definitely be open to it in the future for sure.”

Watch Tyson Fury’s comments after WWE Clash at the Castle:

It’s big news to hear Tyson Fury is still very interested in working with WWE again, but this has been a long time coming. Fury has spoken about his desire to wrestle for WWE multiple times this year. For more on Tyson Fury’s interest in wrestling for WWE, check out:

Tyson Fury Will Be Ringside at WWE Clash at the Castle

Heavyweight boxing starTyson Fury will appear at Saturday’s WWE Clash at the Castle event from Cardiff, Wales.

Fury made his WWE in-ring debut in 2019 by wrestling Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. Fury ended up beating Strowman via count out.

With Clash at the Castle taking place in just days, WWE will likely have him as a surprise rather than being announced ahead of time.

Fury was in talks with WWE about a return this summer, but its unclear what happened for an in-ring return to not happen. 

There had been speculation that WWE may book Fury vs. Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle, but with Fury not being available, WWE booked McIntyre in another big match as he will challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

Drew McIntyre & Tyson Fury Continue Beef: “He’s Obsessed With Me”

Drew McIntyre and Tyson Fury aren’t letting up with their brewing rivalry.

McIntyre is a former two-time WWE Champion, while Fury is widely recognized as the king of heavyweight boxing. “The Gypsy King” is the WBC and The Ring heavyweight champion. With seemingly one foot out the door in pro boxing, Fury is exploring his options.

One of them is a return to WWE.

Drew McIntyre & Tyson Fury Keep Beef Alive

Drew McIntyre had an interview with Newsday and he was asked about his back-and-forth exchanges with Tyson Fury. He said he senses that “The Gyspy King” can’t keep his name out of his mouth.

“First of all, I think we’re talking about WWE. I think I’d be insane to get in the ring with possibly the best boxer of all time, certainly top five.

“The ball’s in his court.

“I appreciate that my name is always in his mouth. He’s got an obsession with Drew McIntyre, which is kind of weird. But I kind of like it at the same time.

“We’ve been going back and forth to each other nonstop for a couple of years. He’s got our number. My focus is on Roman Reigns and the titles right now. But if he wants to do business, he knows our people.

“Give us a call.”

Fury is fresh off a successful title defense against Dillian Whyte. He scored a sixth-round knockout victory off an uppercut.

During the post-fight press conference, Fury said he would’ve mind giving McIntyre the ol’ one-two either at SummerSlam or Clash at the Castle in Cardiff, Wales.

“Don’t rule me out of fighting there, you might see me at SummerSlam. I got to speak to Vince and the boys, maybe make this happen.

“I know Drew McIntyre has been saying a lot of things about me, I’d love to knock him out. I’d love to be at Cardiff. I’d love to be back at center stage in the UK.”

Tyson Fury Teases Facing Drew McIntyre At UK Stadium Show: “I’d Love To Knock Him Out”

WWE is expected to put together a big show for their upcoming UK event from Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales on September 3. Tyson Fury is now teasing being a part of it and facing a former WWE champion.

The Gypsy King successfully defended the WBC and The Ring Heavyweight titles when he defeated Dillian Whyte at the Wembley Stadium this Saturday.

In the post-match press conference, Fury was asked about a potential WWE return. He mentioned how Drew McIntyre has been talking about him recently and said that he would love to knock him out:

“Don’t rule me out of fighting there, you might see me at SummerSlam. I got to speak to Vince and the boys, maybe make this happen.

I know Drew McIntyre has been saying a lot of things about me, I’d love to knock him out.” said Tyson Fury, “I’d love to be at Cardiff. I’d love to be back at center stage in the UK.”

Drew McIntyre had recently discussed three potential opponents for him at the Cardiff event. This list included the boxing star among others.

Tyson Fury wrestled a couple of matches for WWE in 2019. He first defeated Braun Strowman at the Crown Jewel event from Saudi Arabia. Fury later teamed with Strowman to defeat the B-Team a month later.

Tyson Fury Knocks Out Dillian Whyte In Six, WWE Return Incoming? (Video)

Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte is now in the history books.

Fury put the WBC and The Ring Heavyweight Titles on the line against Whyte on April 23. The championship fight was held inside Wembley Stadium in London, England.

It was clear early in the fight that Whyte had difficulty overcoming Fury’s sizable reach advantage. Whyte was in the southpaw stance in the first round, which surprised many. Whyte switched to his traditional orthodox stance in the second stanza.

The story of the fight was Whyte’s failure to effectively close the distance. He paid for it in the sixth round when he ate an uppercut that dropped him with just a few seconds left.

While Whyte got back to his feet, he stumbled bad enough for the referee to call it.

Tyson Fury’s WWE Return Imminent?

Fury is quite chummy with the folks in WWE. Going into the showdown with Whyte, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and The Undertaker sent good luck messages to the “Gypsy King.” Fury has made several WWE appearances and even had a match with Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel back in 2019.

Following his victory over Whyte, Fury said he thinks he’s done with his pro boxing career. With that said, the “Gypsy King” has made it clear in the past that fans will still be seeing a lot from him.

WWE will be making its way to Cardiff, Wales on September 3rd for a premium live event. Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has been teasing a match with Fury at some point. Perhaps that stadium show in Wales fits the bill.

Undertaker, Triple H & Stephanie McMahon Wish Tyson Fury Good Luck

Tyson Fury has received some warm messages from WWE legends ahead of his showdown with Dillian Whyte.

Fury will put his WBC and The Ring Heavyweight Titles on the line against Dillian Whyte today (April 23). The action will be held inside Wembley Stadium in London, England.

Tyson Fury Receives Good Luck Messages

Through WWE on BT Sport, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and The Undertaker have sent Tyson Fury some good vibes going into another title defense.

Stephanie got things started, saying the buzz is giving her Summerslam 1992 chills all over again.

“Tyson, it’s Stephanie McMahon and of course, Triple H from WWE. You know, I remember the last time WWE had a big stadium event in Wembley and it was Summerslam 1992. But I’ll never forget what it felt like, the electricity. 94,000 strong there to see you in your homecoming knock the block off of Dillian Whyte.”

Triple H then used one of Fury’s favorite insults, calling Whyte a big “dosser.”

“‘Gypsy King.’ The true king of boxing returns home to Wembley. 94,000 people are gonna be there and we’ll be watching just like the rest of the world. Watching you blow the roof off of Wembley Stadium and knock that big dosser out.”

Finally, The Undertaker pulled out a Muhammad Ali quote to get the “Gypsy King” fired up.

“Hey, champ. The Undertaker here. It’s about that time again, my friend. You’re going to the big house, Wembley Stadium to put on a show. Remember, you are the ‘Gyspy King’ and it’s time to conquer another kingdom.

“Dillian Whyte, he ain’t got the skills to pay any kind of bills you’re about to bring towards him. Remember, my friend float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. The hands can’t hit what the eyes can’t see.

“Take care of business, Tyson. I’m still here just in case you need me to dig a hole to fill a soul. Alright my man, April 23rd take care of business and I’ll see you on the other side.”

There’s been a lot of speculation on what Tyson Fury will do after this fight. He initially said he would be retiring from pro boxing matches but he has appeared to walk those comments back.

Many have also speculated that a showdown inside the WWE ring with Drew McIntyre is a possibility. The two have teased sharing the squared circle.

Drew McIntyre Wants Tyson Fury at WWE UK Stadium Show

Drew McIntyre has some advice for boxing champion Tyson Fury: don’t screw things up this weekend.

Fury returns to the ring this Saturday. He defends the WBC heavyweight title against Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium in London, England.

McIntyre spoke with Sky Sports this week to discuss the fight, his relationship with Fury and his desire to wrestle the big man at WWE’s big UK stadium show from Cardiff, Wales in September.

McIntyre says he cheers on Tyson Fury every time he fights. They keep in touch and “go back and forth” pretty regularly. However, whenever Fury attends WWE live events, McIntyre says the Gypsy King manages to avoid him. He joked that Fury is the World’s Tallest Ninja, due to Fury’s ability to avoid him when they’re in the same building.

Drew McIntyre vs. Tyson Fury

McIntyre says, “I’m a big fan of his. He’s highly entertaining, he’s such an attraction. That’s why I’m always saying to him, ‘Hey, the door’s always open in WWE. The ball is in your court.'”

He’s no boxing expert, but even he can see Fury that is a superior fighter to Whyte. His cardio is second to none and he’s proven he can take a knockout punch and get back up. “There’s no reason he shouldn’t run right through him this weekend,” said McIntyre.

McIntyre advises Fury, “Don’t screw it up!” because there’s a big-money wrestling match on the table, if he’s up for it.

“All I’ll say to Tyson is, Don’t screw it up! Don’t screw it up. Get through this fight, win it, and then give us a call. We’ll figure out if it can happen in Cardiff.”

– Drew McIntyre to Tyson Fury

WWE’s first UK stadium show in 30 years takes place on Saturday, September 3rd from Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

WWE should have no problem packing 70,000+ fans into Principality Stadium. However, a Drew McIntyre vs. Tyson Fury showdown all-but-guarantees a sellout crowd.

Watch Drew McIntyre’s comments to Tyson Fury:

Tyson Fury Guarantees: “You Will See Me in the WWE Again”

Heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury says there is a “One Million Percent” chance that he will return to WWE one day.

Fury made his WWE debut on Fox’s first Friday Night Smackdown on Oct. 4, 2019. His appearance led to a brief feud with former WWE talent Braun Strowman, culminating at Crown Jewel on Oct. 31, 2019. The boxing star won his match against Strowman by countout. His last WWE appearance was at Smackdown on Nov. 8, 2019.

Although Fury hasn’t competed in WWE for two years, fans and WWE stars have remained curious if he will return. In an statement from GiveMeSport, he promised that he will return to the company in the future.

One million percent, you will see me in the WWE again. One million percent.

Tyson Fury to GiveMeSport’s Tom Ward

WWE Stars Want to Wrestle Fury

Tyson Fury Drew McIntyre
Heavyweight Boxing Champion Tyson Fury & WWE Champion Drew McIntyre

The “Gypsy King” has become a dream matchup for several top talents in the WWE. Both Fury and Drew McIntyre have teased wanting to have a match against each other in 2020. In an interview with The Sun, Big E has also expressed intrigue about a possible Wrestlemania match between himself and the WBC Heavyweight Champion.

“Of course, that’s just rumors and speculation, but I think he’s going to find a way to get back into WWE soon. That’s what we do at WrestleMania. It’s about theatrics, entertainment and being larger-than-life. So, if we are going to do it, that would be the place to do it,” said Big E. He continued, “So I am open to a Tyson Fury WrestleMania match. As absurd as it may be to some, it would be a lot of fun.” (h/t SEScoops’s Anutosh Bajpai).

Before Fury can return to WWE, he will defend his WBC and The Ring Heavyweight Championship against Dillian Whyte on Apr. 23. He also teased fighting UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou in MMA. It’s unclear when he wants to return to the WWE, but he believes fans haven’t seen the last of him wrestling.

Big E Comments On Potential WrestleMania Match Against Tyson Fury

Big E has crossed over to the boxing world a couple of times since becoming WWE champion. He has introduced people like Deontay Wilder and Shawn Porter before their fights. The current champion talked about these cross-overs during a recent interview with The Sun.

He expressed the desire for one such crossover to take place at WrestleMania saying that he would like Tyson Fury to introduce him at the show of shows. If the gypsy king doesn’t have an interest in accompanying him for his entrance at the PPV event, then Big E would also be open to facing him in a one-on-one match at Mania:

“Of course, that’s just rumours and speculation, but I think he’s going to find a way to get back into WWE soon. That’s what we do at WrestleMania. It’s about theatrics, entertainment and being larger-than-life. So, if we are going to do it, that would be the place to do it.” said Big E, “So I am open to a Tyson Fury WrestleMania match. As absurd as it may be to some, it would be a lot of fun,”

Tyson Fury is no stranger to the wrestling world and he has wrestled a couple of matches for WWE. He made his debut defeating Braun Strowman at the 2019 Crown Jewel event via count-out. There is no word yet on what the officials are planning for Big E at WrestleMania. It would be interesting to see if it involves Fury in any capacity.

Update On Tyson Fury’s Relationship With Vince McMahon

Tyson Fury remains in regular touch with WWE boss Vince McMahon following his pro wrestling debut at Crown Jewel 2019 match against Braun Strowman.

Paris Fury, wife of the reigning lineal heavyweight boxing champion, recently spoke with BBC Newcastle. During the conversation, she discussed the possibility of her husband returning to WWE in the future.

Paris revealed that Tyson is good friends with McMahon and taking part in a WWE event is like taking a trip to Disneyland.

Like a Disneyland Trip

“He is in touch with Vince McMahon all the time,” she said. “He loves it. My sons are all big fans of it. For Tyson to do it is kind of like a Disneyland trip, the kids love to go and they meet all the wrestlers.”

Discussing the possibility of Tyson Fury making an in-ring return, Paris then mentioned how the boxing star wants to be the cool dad before claiming that he will bounce back into the ring one day for sure:

“Being a young man, he told me he was a fan of all these wrestlers. So he’s definitely probably going to go into that again. I’m sure he will bounce into that WWE ring one of the days.”

Tyson Fury had his latest fight on October 9, 2021 where he defeated Deontay Wilder in their third boxing match against each other. Big E made an appearance during the show and he introduced both the fighters before the bout.

The Undertaker Tells Tyson Fury To Smash Deontay Wilder (Video)

WWE legend The Undertaker has a message for Tyson Fury ahead of fight night.

This Saturday night (Oct. 9), Fury will be defending his WBC and The Ring Heavyweight Titles. He’ll be going one-on-one with Deontay Wilder in a trilogy fight. The action will be held inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Fury received the following video from The Undertaker.

“You smash this guy and when you’re looking over him, just for me, look down at him and say, “‘Rest In Peace!'”

Fury was quick to respond and he honored “The Phenom” by wearing his hat.

“This one’s for The Undertaker. I’m here today in your hat, sir. I’m gonna smash him and I’m gonna say, ‘Rest In Peace.'”

This isn’t the first time Tyson Fury and The Undertaker have had kind words for one another. Back when “The Deadman” was celebrating 30 years in WWE, Fury had the following video sent to The Undertaker.

“Hi, this is Tyson Fury and this is a special message to The Undertaker celebrating 30 years in the WWE. Fantastic, thank you very much for all the great nights you’ve given us over the years. God bless ya, see ya around.”

Fury got the meme treatment following his first fight with Deontay Wilder back in Dec. 2018. After being knocked down in the 12th round, “The Gypsy King” looked all but done. Somehow, he got back to his feet and survived until the final bell. The way Fury sat up reminded people of The Undertaker.

Tyson Fury Was Backstage at WrestleMania Backlash

It has been revealed that boxing icon Tyson Fury was backstage at the WrestleMania Backlash event this past weekend. The man who will be fighting Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia come August posted to social media to confirm that he and his son were in attendance for the event.

“Great times with my boy @princejohnjamesfury1” Tyson Fury wrote on Instagram. “His face when he meets Rey Mysterio, making dreams reality brother, thanks Rey.” 

He thanked WWE boss Vince McMahon and Nick Khan for the chance to visit.

Tyson Fury in WWE

It is not confirmed at this time if Tyson Fury will be returning to WWE anytime soon. The lineal World Heavyweight Champion will now be preparing for the mega clash in August against Joshua.

Fury did perform for WWE in Saudi Arabia previously, facing Braun Strowman. With the Joshua fights likely to be two consecutive bouts, it’s unlikely that Fury will be available until at least 2022 before WWE can consider bringing him back in.

Fury’s son also posted some images to Instagram with Vince McMahon, Paul Heyman, Ric Flair and more. Check these out below:

Following his massive win at the weekend Tyson Fury is now arguably one of the hottest trending names in the sports world; and with his natural flair he is seen as a perfect for WWE, according to Busted Open Radio’s Bully Ray.

More Over Than Ever

“He’s even more over than he was the day he stepped foot in the WWE. Or him stepping foot in that boxing ring” Bully began. “Because this guy got him self over as an entertainer during his entrance and after the fight. I mean Tyson Fury has shown why he’s custom made for the WWE. He comes out you know on the throne, I mean we’ve seen that before you know; King Haku, or King Harley raised up, or King Corbin. It’s very WWE. He is singing Patsy Cline’s Crazy during his entrance. He’s actually singing the words of the song hanging out having a great time. Then [he] goes out there and just completely kicks Deontay Wilder ass.”

Bully also stated that he believes the ‘Gypsy King’ would be a good opponent for WWE’s King Corbin in the near future. “I mean this guy is custom fit for the WWE, the WWE is going to want the boxing world undisputed champion on their side now and I could see the Gypsy King vs King Corbin happening down the line.”

Booker T Says That Deontay Wilder Will Beat Tyson Fury

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently commented on tonight’s huge boxing heavyweight contest between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury. There has been speculation since Fury’s WWE appearance in Saudi Arabia as to whether he would be returning to the squared circle. Tonight’s bout will most likely be a huge determining factor as to whether or not the ‘Gypsy King’ returns to WWE soon.

Booker is currently on location at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Booker will covering the fight, and he revealed his pick for the mega showdown on the Hall of Fame podcast.

Can Deontay Wilder Adjust His ‘Game?’

Booker T first talked about how Wilder is being expected to ‘adapt’ to Fury, according to a number of leading pundits. “Deontay Wilder, can he go out and adjust his game?” Booker began. “That’s the question I think more than anything. What I don’t know if that’s fair or not? Putting the onus on the champion to go out there and change his game.”

Booker also referenced the fact that in the pair’s first first Wilder scored two knockdowns on the ‘Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury. “He’s [Wilder] the only one that, was in that [first] fight that got two big knockdowns on his opponent. You know Fury didn’t knock him down. Wilder vs Anthony Joshua, that’s what everybody wants to see. I do feel like in this fight that Deontay Wilder will stake his claim to be the Heavyweight Champion of the world. Nobody wants to see boring Tyson Fury go out there and fight Joshua.”

The former King of The Ring confirmed that he believed Wilder would win in around 7-8 rounds. Fury himself has said that he intends on knocking out Wilder within two rounds, and Booker T responded to this by saying “for him to go and knock out Wilder in two rounds? He would probably of had to be doing something that is probably not legal; as far as the USADA side and whatnot.”

Angle stated, “I think Tyson did a really good job, I would say he nailed a 10. He got through the match. He wasn’t a professional wrestler by any means but he adapted well. I don’t think he expected more than he gave and I don’t think the company expected more than he gave.”

Fury beat Braun Strowman by count-out in October at the WWE Crown Jewel pay-per-view event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This marked his in-ring debut. 

Since then, Fury has talked about wanting to do another match. It’s been reported that this possibility will have to wait until after his next fight, which will see him take on Deontay Wilder for the second time in February.

“Yeah, I think there are thoughts out there of a lot of things with Tyson Fury. He had a blast working with us,” Triple H continued. “It’s funny, one of the things that I learned with him doing the press for the other time he worked for us is that in his mind as a kid, he saw himself being a WWE superstar, not a boxer.”

Triple H would continue to talk about Fury’s performance at Crown Jewel against Braun Strowman. He also mentioned that he believes Tyson Fury wants to do something bigger than he has with WWE.
