Tyson Fury is keeping in touch with WWE boss Vince McMahon over a potential return after the pandemic scuppered his plans to main event UK Stadium show in 2020 WWE
The heavyweight superstar said: “I was supposed to go to SummerSlam last year and I was supposed to go to WrestleMania last year and then I was also supposed to fight Drew McIntyre in a PPV event in the UK, but none of that happened thanks to COVID.“So COVID’s cost me SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, PPV with Drew McIntyre, the [Deontay] Wilder rematch, and the [Anthony] Joshua fight. So thank you COVID [laughs].
The Gypsy King is taking on his mandatory challenger but has made it clear he will either retire after facing Whyte, or he would like to face the winner of Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title next.Fury vs McIntyre was WWE’s original plan for a UK PPV in 2020It was remarkable because Fury had only suffered terrible, deep cuts above his eye that required 47 stitches to close around two months prior to his wrestling debut.
If Fury could work with WWE in among that busy schedule, there’s no reason why he couldn’t this time around. At the very least, they’d want him to appear.WWE chairman Vince McMahon was said to be impressed by Fury’s WWE debut and they’ve kept a strong relationship
