Although Tyson Fury‘s future in WWE is yet to be determined, Fury does have high expectations for a possible next opponent inside the wrestling ring.
In an interview with Corey Graves on WWE’s “After The Bell” podcast, Fury spoke on what is next for the former unified heavyweight champion as far as his wrestling career is concerned. Fury reiterated that he is focused on a planned rematch against WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, which Fury said would happen on February 22, 2020.
“Next for Tyson Fury, I got Deontay Wilder on February 22nd. I’m looking to get that fight out of the way first and then I’ll go back to the drawing board before I come back. I always take it one fight at a time and never look past the opponent, no matter who it is,” Fury said.
When asked about who he would like to face next in WWE, Fury admitted that it would be great if he got to face current WWE Champion Brock Lesnar, possibly at next year’s WrestleMania in Tampa, Florida. Fury is already unbeaten in WWE after beating Braun Strowman at WWE Crown Jewel.
“Hopefully, you see me in the ring again and I want to fight Brock Lesnar next… Who knows? It may happen at WrestleMania in Florida,” Fury said.
Fury will make an appearance on the November 8 episode of SmackDown, which is taking place in Manchester, England. Fightful will have live coverage of SmackDown with a post-show podcast to follow.
