Tyson Fury has said he wants to fight Scottish wrestler Drew McIntyre at the recently announced WWE event at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. His comments came after he beat Dillian Whyte to retain his WBC heavyweight title - and appeared to announce his retirement from boxing.
During the post fight press conference The Gypsy King was asked if he would be at the September wrestling event - the first major WWE stadium event to be held in the UK since 1992. Fury replied: "Don't rule me out of fighting there. You might see me at Summer Slam, coming up soon.
I've got to speak to Vince [McMahon] and the boys and maybe make this happen. I know Drew McIntyre's being saying a lot of things about me - I'll have to knock him out, like I did his pal.

"You know. I'd love to be at Cardiff. I'd love to be back in the centre stage in the UK - especially for the wrestling. I enjoyed it last time in Saudi Arabia - it was fantastic, so to come here and do it would be phenomenal. We're definitely going to make a bit of contact and see if we can make that Summerslam thing a reality."
On the Cardiff event, WWE's Senior Vice President (Live Events) John Porco has previously said: "The weekend will be filled with a variety of WWE experiences that we believe will leave a lasting memory, on par with SummerSlam at Wembley Stadium in 1992."
Fury also appears to have set up a 'hybrid' fight with UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. American broadcaster ESPN brought Ngannou - who is months away from the end of his UFC contract - into the ring with Fury after the Whyte fight.
"This is going to be one very special fight," Fury told ESPN. "It'll be something never before seen in the history of our sport. We're not talking two guys around 140lb, I'm 270lb, he's 270lb. It's going to be an explosive fight when it happens."
"I'm the boxing heavyweight champion, he's the UFC heavyweight champion, he's in great shape, look at the muscles on him," Fury continued. Ngannou added: "We are going to find out who is the baddest m************ on the planet," to which Fury replied "good man Francis".
