Tyson Fury discusses cancelled WWE Plans. The WBC Heavyweight Champion revealed that he was scheduled for four major appearances in the WWE.

British Heavyweight Boxer, Tyson Fury, appeared in the WWE back in 2019. He was part of the Crown Jewel card where he faced and defeated Braun Strowman. That, so far, is his only WWE appearance. However, it seems that he was set to appear on four more events.

Tyson Fury discusses cancelled WWE Plans

“I was supposed to go to SummerSlam last year and I was supposed to go to WrestleMania last year, and I was also supposed to fight Drew McIntyre in a pay-per-view event in the UK. But none of that happened thanks to COVID.

“So COVID’s cost me SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, pay-per-view with Drew McIntyre, the [Deontay] Wilder rematch, and the [Anthony] Joshua fight, so thank you, COVID. And I was supposed to meet the President of the Unites States, Donald Trump. I was supposed to meet the Pope of Rome, among other things, so it’s cost me a lot. It’s one of them things.”

Fury’s last boxing match was against Deontay Wilder. The Gypsy King came out victorious making him the first heavyweight in history to have held the WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring magazine titles. A rematch with Wilder was set for July last year. However, Covid kept that match from happening. Fury finally announced that he was foregoing the trilogy after organizers failed to deliver a date for the event in 2020.

Archie is a WWE and UFC Editor/Author at the SportsRush. Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
