Legendary boxer Tyson Fury renounced his retirement plans as he decided to get back in the ring again after signing a 10-bout deal. Fury is scheduled to fight former UFC Champion Francis Ngannou on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He will follow it up with a scheduled fight for an Undisputed Heavyweight Championship against Oleksandr Usyk.

The news about Fury’s in-ring return to boxing has delighted boxing fans across the globe. But it has disappointed some WWE fans who were hoping for a dream match.

Tyson Fury renounces his retirement from boxing, disappointing WWE fans

35-year-old Fury, who is the husband of former UFC Champion and former WWE Champion Ronda Rousey, has appeared in WWE multiple times due to his wife. When fans heard that he had retired from boxing, they speculated a potential match between him and The Scottish Warrior Drew McIntyre.

Fury is from England and McIntyre is from Scotland. Given their physical appearance and origin of birth, fans wanted to see a special match between the two. However, Fury has more than one reason to disappoint WWE fans. 

But Fury dropped curtains on the hopes after renouncing his retirement plans from boxing. In an interview with ESPN, he also clarified his take on WWE by stating, “WWE’s too hard for me, 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 is 6’9 feet or 2.06 m tall and weighs around 122 kgs or 269 lbs. He is a big man even for the wrestling industry. Hence, it is not easy for Fury to teach his body to take bumps and perform wrestling moves.

However, it is interesting to know that Fury has stepped in the ring before as well. Interestingly, his only match was at the Crown Jewel PLE in Riyadh, which took place back in 2019.

On the episode of RAW on October 7, 2019, Fury confronted former WWE Champion Braun Strowman after a heated moment in the previous episode of SmackDown. Strowman clarified that he was messing up with Fury but the segment soon changed into a heated segment. 

The two superstars from different rings clashed at Crown Jewel in 2019 in an earth-shattering match. In the end, Fury won the match but the two superstars settled their differences after the match.
