WWE has pulled off some dream matchups over the years. Now, Drew McIntyre, the WWE champion, has dropped a sign that there could be a possible match between him and boxing legend, Tyson Fury in the future.

McIntyre was crowned WWE champion after he defeated Brock Lesnar in Wrestlemania 36, earlier this year. He also successfully retained the title yesterday in the Money in the Bank Pay Per View against Seth Rollins.

On such a hot form, it is not entirely shocking that McIntyre made such a claim. Tyson Fury, himself is quite familiar with WWE. Last year in the Crown Jewel, he defeated Braun Strowman to cement his power.
