Tyson Fury’s appearance on WWE Monday Night Raw ended in a chaotic brawl with Braun Strowman.
Fury was ringside on WWE Smackdown on Friday night in Los Angeles, taunted by Strowman before being restrained by security.
The Gypsy King was invited back for Monday night’s live show, trading barbs and demanding an apology from Strowman before pushing him into the ropes. Security staff swarmed into the ring to separate the two, with Fury throwing wild shots to try and clear a path to Strowman before the WWE locker room emptied to pull them apart.
The developing storyline involving Fury and Strowman teases a future match between the two heavyweights, possibly at Wrestlemania next April.
Fury would not be the first boxing star to appear in a wrestling ring. Mike Tyson served a special ringside enforcer for ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin vs Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania XIV, making the three count as the Rattlesnake won the WWF Championship before dropping Michaels with a right hook.
Floyd Mayweather was also involved in an angle with The Big Show in 2008, breaking the 7ft giant’s nose before their meeting at Wrestlemania 24.
Fury is set to meet WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in their hugely anticipated rematch in February – providing Wilder comes through another rematch with Luis Ortiz in November.
