After his fight with Dillian Whyte, Tyson Fury was full of newsworthy items both in-ring, and at his post-fight press conference.
After announcing his retirement from boxing, Fury immediately started setting up future business, which first involved bringing UFC champion Francis Ngannou into the ring, and teasing a future “Hybrid Bout” between the two of them.

Tyson Fury brings Francis Ngannou into the ring.
Ngannou: He’s the baddest motherfucker on the planet
Fury: This will be a very special fight. It’ll be a very explosive fight.
Ngannou: It’ll be a hybrid fight with different kind of rules.
Wait…WHAT???

Ngannou has been out of action since sustaining a knee injury before his most recent title defense vs. Cyril Gane in December of 2021, and has been looking for a big-money boxing match while embroiled in a contract dispute with the UFC.
Moving onto the post-fight press conference, where Fury expressed a desire to work with the WWE again. Stating he would be looking to make contact with them, with regards to future appearances at both Summerslam, and the upcoming event at the Pricipality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales in September.
Tyson Fury on going to the WWE event in Cardiff: “Don’t rule out me fighting there. You might also see me at SummerSlam. Drew McIntyre has been talking a lot about me and I may have to talk to Vince and the boys about it.”
