Tyson Fury is a prominent figure in the world of professional boxing. At the moment, he is preparing to fight former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou. Despite his success in the sport, Fury recently spoke about a potential run in the WWE once he retires from boxing. However, it seems that The G*psy King is not at all interested in a return to professional wrestling.

Tyson Fury outlined the major difference between boxing and wrestling. Moreover, he revealed why a future stint in the WWE is highly unlikely. The British-born boxer claims that it would be difficult for him to wrestle for the Stamford-based promotion.

Boxing is much easier than WWE. It's very physical and taxing on the body. WWE, getting slammed on the floor and all that sort of stuff. I'd rather move around the ring and dodge punches.
Tyson Fury said during an interview with ESPN,

He played a vital role in the main-event match between Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre. During the fight, Fury knocked out Austin Theory, who attempted to cash in his Money In The Bank contract. Furthermore, the boxer came face-to-face with Reigns after the bout. As a result, many fans speculated whether the face-off was a tease for a future battle.

Who did Tyson Fury face in his only match in the WWE?

Tyson Fury is currently one of the biggest attractions in combat sports. The boxer, who has a 37-0-1 record in professional boxing, has also stepped foot inside a WWE ring. This came in 2019 when he had a brief rivalry with The Monster Amongst Men, Braun Strowman.

During the road to Crown Jewel, the Stamford-based promotion brought in Tyson Fury for the Saudi event. As a result, he was pitted against one of the most popular stars at the time. In their showdown at the PLE, Fury defeated Braun Strowman via count-out in a decent outing for the boxer.

On the following episode of SmackDown, the pair “buried the hatchet”, decimating the B-Team on the show. Since then, the G*psy King has made sporadic appearances for the company, attending a few events over the years.
