Tyson Fury says it would be ‘phenomenal’ to appear at WWE event in the United Kingdom as the Gypsy King discussed his future after boxing.
Fury confirmed his retirement from boxing after retaining his heavyweight titles against Dillian Whyte on Saturday. The 33-year-old secured a sixth-round stoppage against the Body Snatcher at Wembley Stadium.
Fury said: “I've been in this game for 20 years, I'm 34 in a few months. This is definitely the end of the Gypsy King and I went out with a bang. Tonight was amazing but this is the end.”

The Wythenshawe-born heavyweight world champion has wrestled before, defeating Braun Strowman in 2019 by a count-out victory. While Fury's wife Paris has confirmed he remains in close contact with WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon.
Speaking at a press conference at Wembley on Saturday, Fury said: “You might see me at SummerSlam coming up soon. I’ve got to speak to Vince and the boys and maybe make this happen.
“I know that Drew McIntyre has been saying a lot of things about me. I’ll have to knock him out, like I did his pal.”
SummerSlam 2022 is taking place on July 30 at the Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. Fury also earmarked WWE Live in Cardiff this September as a date for his potential return to wrestling.
“I’d love to be at Cardiff," he said. "I’d love to be back in the centre stage in the UK, especially for the wrestling as I enjoyed it last time in Saudi Arabia.
“So to come here (the UK) and do it would be phenomenal. We’ll definitely make a bit of contact and see if we can make SummerSlam a reality.”
Fury recently said he will: "One million per cent (return)" to the WWE again. In an interview with GiveMeSport, he added: "You will see me in the WWE again. One million per cent.”
Fury, who remains undefeated in his boxing career, has also teased a potential crossover fight against UFC star Francis Ngannou.
