WWE has a proud history of athletes from various sports crossing over to the squared circle to join in on the fun. Boxing legend Mike Tyson has been part of a few WWE storylines and even earned himself a WWE Hall of Fame induction.

Most recently, the Gypsy King, English pro boxer Tyson Fury, has been part of the sports entertainment bandwagon of WWE.

Fury made an appearance at the Clash at the Castle event held in the UK and is open to a return to the promotion for a tag team down the line against Jake and Logan Paul.

Still, the heavyweight boxing legend seemed excited about a wrestling return and can’t wait to begin a new chapter in his life. He will have his work cut out, though. Logan Paul signed with WWE earlier this year and has already wrestled a few matches.

He came up short against Roman Reigns despite a valiant and praiseworthy effort at Crown Jewel last month. His brother and pro boxer Jake Paul also made an appearance and got in on the action during the match.
