There is still no date set for Tyson Fury to return to the boxing ring, with Deontay Wilder recovering and Dillian Whyte fighting Alexander Povetkin. Hence, the WBC heavyweight champion elected to explore a WWE call out from spring. 

‘The Gypsy King’ tweeted a video where he called out WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. He said, “Drew McIntyre, anytime, anywhere, anyplace, buddy. Let’s get it on.”

Can we see Tyson Fury vs Drew McIntyre?

Drew McIntyre dethroned Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 and has vanquished all challengers ever since. However, he must defend his belt against the dangerous Randy Orton in two days. 

The narrative here is for ‘The Viper’ to claim the title and hold it until next year to set up a defense against Edge. This occurring will free McIntyre to have the cross-sport fight against ‘The Gypsy King’ as the belt will be in play, with Orton competing against a full-timer.
