Speaking with Kenny McIntosh of Inside The Ropes, the former WWE Champion expressed his desire to face ‘The Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury in a one-on-one exhibition match inside the squared circle in the United Kingdom.

McIntyre even termed the match as the ‘Battle of Britain’ and believes the crowd would pay their every buck to watch the ‘once in a lifetime’ match.

“I don’t think we necessarily need it, but for something within the UK to kinda get the eyeballs on the product, that maybe aren’t watching WWE right now, the lapsed fans, to say ‘wait a minute, Tyson Fury’s fighting that big wrestler who won the WWE title from Scotland – yeah, I want to pay attention to that’.”

“You could bill it as the Battle of Britain or whatever, just something like that at the top of the card. I could imagine that would be something awesome to draw those outside eyeballs,”
