Tyson Fury set to bank £12MILLION to appear in WWE but will jeopardise TWO rematches with Wilder

TYSON FURY will reportedly bank £12MILLION from his WWE appearance.

The lineal heavyweight champ will make his wrestling debut in Saudi Arabia at the end of the month when he meets Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel.

Fury’s choice will risk TWO rematches with Deontay Wilder as the Gypsy King is not yet fully recovered from the bloody gashed eye he suffered in his win against Otto Wallin.

He is due to wrestle at Crown Jewel on October with his Las Vegas rematch pencilled in for February 22.

Fury previously said there is “a hell of a chance of that” the match with Braun Strowman could jeopardise Fury-Wilder II.

Current WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar will meet old foe Cain Velasquez – the man who took his UFC crown from him in 2010 – on the same night.

There is already talk that Fury will meet the winner of that bout early next year.

If he does, the Mail report Fury could bank as much as the £39.66million ($50m) he will make from TWO contracted rematches with Wilder.

The Las Vegas one in February and another at Wembley Stadium next summer.

Fury, who got into WWE because his son Prince is a massive fan, is taking his appearance extremely seriously.

At the launch event, he said: “I’ve been training at the WWE facility in Orlando.

“I was supposed to be resting while the eye mended but I’m excited about 385lb of Braun coming at me.

“Me against Wilder is the biggest fight in boxing but I’m not thinking about that now. I’m just enjoying my life and concentrating on WWE.”

However, Fury’s promoter Frank Warren is not so impressed – and was not even told about the plan.

“I’m not in favour of this and it does put the Wilder fight in jeopardy,” said the veteran promoter.

“But he’s a grown man who makes his own decisions. I hope it’s more a show than a fight.”
