Tyson Fury will wrestle WWE superstar Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel as brawl is announced during explosive Las Vegas press conference
WWE have confirmed boxing star Tyson Fury will fight Braun Strowman at their Crown Jewel pay-per-view on October 31.
The huge announcement was made tonight with both giants in attendance for a blockbuster press conference in Las Vegas.
During a tense press conference, the two men squared up to each other and shared a hand-shake – but it was hardly friendly with Fury and Strowman slapping each other on the arm as neither would let go.
Fury was a surprise front row guest on last week’s episode of SmackDown but he had to be restrained by security after he squared-up to Braun Strowman at ringside.
After becoming the No.1 social media trend worldwide, the Lineal world champion followed that up by appearing on Monday Night Raw to demand an apology from the Monster Among Men.
