Tyson Fury is slated to have his next fight on October 28th when he takes on former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou, who is making his professional boxing debut.
The pay-per-view fight in Saudi Arabia won’t feature Fury’s WBC Heavyweight Title on the line.
Fury made his in-ring debut in October 2019 with a win over Braun Strowman at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. Since 2019, he has teased matches with Drew McIntyre and Brock Lesnar, among other WWE stars.
He was asked about a possible WWE return while speaking with Sports Illustrated to promote the fight.
“I’ve been doing this for 15 years, which is a long time,” said Fury. “I know it won’t last forever. And it’s true. I’ve had a few good stints in WWE. There is still a lot of opportunity there.”
Fury’s last WWE appearance was last year at the Clash at the Castle pay-per-view, where he defended Drew McIntyre from an attack by Austin Theory while battling Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title. Reigns went over with the show, ending with McIntyre and Fury signing “American Pie” with the crowd in Cardiff.
“It’s an amazing experience there,” said Fury. “At the moment, I’m very busy with boxing. I’m still active and on top of my chosen profession, so this is where my focus will be. After that, we’ll see.”
