Tyson Fury is set to make a lofty amount of money for his upcoming WWE match on Oct. 31 against Braun Strowan in Saudi Arabia.

According to The Daily Mail, Fury will make around $15 million for this appearance. If he agrees to more WWE appearances, he could be set to bank $20 million, a no-doubt hefty purse.

The article also stated, “Tyson Fury’s rematch of his epic world heavyweight title draw with Deontay Wilder is in serious doubt as he banks $15 million for his WWE debut this month, with the prospect of even more for a second wrestling extravaganza in the New Year”.

Tyson Fury made $1 million disclosed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission but sponsors and an undisclosed amount of money from the promote no doubt raised that.

Although this is no doubt a very interesting time for Tyson Fury, him being in WWE could impact the Deontay Wilder rematch that is scheduled for next year, he admitted.

“There’s a hell of a chance of that.”

‘I was supposed to be resting while the eye mended but I’m excited about 385lbs of Braun coming at me,” he added. “Yeah, me against Wilder is the biggest fight in boxing but I’m not thinking about that now. I’m just enjoying my life – and concentrating on WWE.”

Two of combat sports’ biggest stars are currently involved with WWE. First, lineal heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury is running a program with one of WWE’s top big men, Braun Strowman. Also, two-time UFC heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez has now inked a multi-year deal with WWE.

Both men will make their in-ring debuts at the upcoming Crown Jewel event from Daudi Arabia later this month. Velasquez takes on Brock Lesnar, while Fury squares off with Strowman. A press conference was held by WWE last week to promote the event. Speaking to media outlets such as MMA Junkie afterward, Fury said he’s open to doing a WWE match with Velasquez down the road.

“Yeah, listen. Me and Cain, we’ve got a rivalry going back from when he was UFC heavyweight champion, from a right few years ago,” Fury said. “There was a lot of back and forward on social media back then. And, who knows, maybe that rivalry could spill over into WWE.”

Aside from a match with Velasquez, Fury also said he’s willing to step into the ring with any of the world’s top big men.

“I’d love to fight them all,” he said. “I’m a prizefighter. I’ve never ducked a fight in my life, and I’ll fight anybody.”

Andy Ruiz Jr. has offered up his reaction to Tyson Fury’s performance last night (Sat. September 14, 2019).

Fury took on Otto Wallin in Las Vegas with the former’s lineal heavyweight title on the line. “The Gypsy King” sustained a nasty gash early on before cruising his way to a decision win, still dealing with the adversity of the cut that could’ve very well stopped the fight.

Everyone has been critical of Fury’s performance in the bout, even his own father. But now, Ruiz, the unified heavyweight champion of the world, has chimed in.

Ruiz is referring to past comments made by Fury in an interview (via Sportstar), where the Englishman claimed he’d beat Ruiz with one hand tied behind his back.

“I will let the fans decide, which hand I put behind my back and beat Ruiz with the other hand – because I only need one hand for him.”

In the meantime, both Fury and Ruiz are seemingly booked for the foreseeable future. Fury is expected to run things back with WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder early next year, while Ruiz will rematch Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia this December.

Tyson Fury’s father John was not impressed whatsoever by his son’s performance against Otto Wallin on Saturday night.

Fury maintained his undefeated record with a unanimous decision victory over Wallin in Las Vegas. However, it was far from easy as Wallin was a game opponent who even opened up two early cuts near Fury’s right eye.

And for John, it was a case of a bad camp and he believes trainer Ben Davidson and the rest of the team is to blame:

“I don’t know how he has taken the cut in the third and made it to the 12th,” the senior Fury said in a BT Sport interview (transcript via MMA Mania). “It has gone terribly wrong in the camp and someone is to blame. Tyson never landed a meaningful punch. If Tyson had been in front of one of the top-three or Alexander Povetkin, he would not have won. I am a straight talker and that is the worst I have ever seen him.

“I have half an idea what went wrong but I cannot share it. He has done an eight-week camp but his strength and power have gone. He was as weak as a kitten. His body looked a lot softer tonight. He is not an 18 stone fighter, he wants to be body beautiful. I have seen this coming. I saw this coming. If he keeps hold of that team, that whole team, they will cost him his career. Ben Davidson and everyone.

”The cutman is the only one who can take any credit. it was like a shark’s mouth. If this was not his show, if he was the away fight, he would have been gone.”

Harsh words from the senior Fury but Davidson responded in a respectful manner:

“John is Tyson’s dad so of course you have to respect him,” Davidson said. “But Tyson was fully prepared and you can’t do anything about sustaining a bad cut. Just because he’s gone 12 rounds it doesn’t mean he’s weak. If he was weak he wouldn’t have been able to do 12 rounds there.”
