WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury expressed interest in facing Drew McIntyre at the WWE UK stadium shows following his win over Dillian Whyte. Fury made his WWE in-ring debut in a match against Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel in 2019, which he won.
The Gypsy King wants to return to the squared circle in a match against The Scottish Warrior. During the post-fight press conference, he said:
"Don't rule me out of fighting there! You might see me at SummerSlam. I got to speak to Vince and the boys! I know Drew McIntyre has been saying a lot of things about me. I would love to knock him out."
Make the call, @Tyson_Fury 👀
The Gypsy King has unfinished business in WWE and with @DMcIntyreWWE in particular 😳
