Tyson Fury seems eager to get into the WWE ring with Drew McIntyre

Boxing great Tyson Fury might be one of the best ever to enter the ring but he is also keen on taking on Drew McIntyre.

The two have been going hammer and tongs on social media, and Fury again challenged the WWE Champion to a fight.

Fury has WWE experience from the past as he defeated Braun Strowman, and he is keen on continuing his winning streak in the promotion.

While he had some choice names for the WWE Champion, McIntyre wasn’t giving it up easily. The Scot suggested that Fury had “pillow fists” and wasn’t backing down.

He also highlighted that the timing was perfect for Fury as McIntyre had injured his jaw during a recent Raw show.

“I’m not one of the normal bums you pick to fight, I’m not some punching bag getting paid to turn up and lose. Nice timing by the way, even with a fractured jaw I’m pretty confident I could do 12 rounds with your pillow fists. Nice try, ‘King.’ – Your @WWE Champion”

Another mega battle set?

McIntyre seems to be out of action for a while after Randy Orton attacked him on Raw. There were fears of a fractured skull but fortunately, it wasn’t that bad for the champion.

Orton has started a rivalry with Keith Lee, and that frees McIntyre for a clash. Fury has fought in WWE in the past but his win over Strowman wasn’t all that great and he didn’t look too comfortable in the ring too.

Pat McAfee, another celebrity, made his debut against Adam Cole at NXT TakeOver: XXX and that was a fantastic performance.

WWE could be setting up for another show in the Middle East and it could have Fury starring in that against McIntyre.
