WWE has an extensive history of working with various famous celebrities and sporting stars.

One such sporting star who has history with the promotion is undefeated heavyweight boxing star Tyson Fury.

Fury is the reigning WBC, Ring Magazine and Lineal Heavyweight Boxing Champion. The Gypsy King has a professional boxing record of 32 fights with 31 victories and one draw.

Fury's most recent victory came with a successful defense of his WBC and Ring Magazine Heavyweight Championships against fierce rival Deontay Wilder.

However, the heavyweight boxer does also have a history as a WWE Superstar. In late 2019, Tyson Fury engaged in a feud with Braun Strowman. This resulted in The Gypsy King competing in a match against Strowman at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.

The Ring Magazine Heavyweight Champion won his first and only match by count-out against Strowman. However, he has since made more WWE appearances and has teased more matches with the company.

Let's take a closer look at five possible future WWE opponents for Tyson Fury.


#5 Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar

Former WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar has made quite the splash since returning to WWE.

The Beast re-emerged at SummerSlam in August by confronting current Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

The Tribal Chief and Brock Lesnar are set to meet at WWE Crown Jewel later this month with the Universal Championship hanging in the balance.

However, Brock Lesnar also has an extensive combat sports background. Lesnar is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion and was one of the biggest box office attractions in combat sports.

A Tyson Fury vs Brock Lesnar match inside of a WWE ring would attract fans of professional wrestling, professional boxing and mixed martial arts all to one event. Perhaps Fury vs Lesnar could happen in the future now that The Beast Incarnate is once again on the WWE roster.

#4 Former WWE RAW Tag Team Champion Omos

WWE Monday Night RAW Superstar Omos is one of the most intimidating and biggest Superstars on the entire WWE roster.

The personal collosus of AJ Styles stands at an astounding 7 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 400lbs. In his short WWE career so far he has dominated the few matches that he has wrestled.

Despite primarily competing in a tag team with Styles, Omos' future as a WWE Superstar will be in singles competition.

While there aren't many names on the WWE roster that are the size of Omos, Tyson Fury certainly comes close.

The Gypsy King is 6 feet 9 inches tall and weighed in for his last fight against Deontay Wilder at 277lbs. Many fans would certainly pay good money to see two giant stars such as Fury and Omos square off inside of a WWE ring.


#3 Current WWE Champion Big E

WWE Champion Big E is currently riding the wave of his career to date.

After winning the Money in the Bank contract at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view in July, Big E successfully cashed in on Bobby Lashley in September on Monday Night RAW to win the WWE Championship for the first time.

Currently scheduled to defend the title against Drew McIntyre at WWE Crown Jewel later this month, it remains to be seen how long The New Day member will hold on to the richest prize in WWE.

Tyson Fury has made a habit of winning Championships during his professional boxing career. The Gypsy King is the only heavyweight boxer in history to have held the WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO and The Ring magazine Heavyweight Championships.

Perhaps Fury may look to add WWE Championship gold to his trophy cabinet if and when he returns to the squared circle. If Big E is still the WWE Champion, he could certainly be on Tyson Fury's radar.

#2 Current WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns

Universal Champion Roman Reigns is the biggest, best, and most popular WWE Superstar competing today.

Despite being a villianous heel, The Tribal Chief is easily the MVP of WWE and the company's biggest box office attraction.

Reigns has recently been setting new merchandise records for a heel, further cementing his place as a money-making star. In comparison, it could be argued that Tyson Fury is the biggest box-office attraction in professional boxing today.

Fury's second fight with Deontay Wilder in February 2020 grossed an astonishing $16.9 million dollar gate at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. This shattered the previous gate record for a heavyweight boxing fight in Nevada, a record that had stood for over 20 years.

Considering the popularity of both stars, a match between the biggest box-office attraction in WWE and the biggest box-office attraction is boxing would mean major business.


#1 Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre

Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has long-teased a possible match against WBC Heavyweight Boxing Champion Tyson Fury.

The two men have continuously traded shots and jabs on social media, hinting at a possible match inside a WWE ring at some point in the future.

There were even rumors that WWE did indeed have tentative plans for The Scottish Warrior and The Gypsy King to square off at a pay-per-view event in the United Kingdom in 2020.

However, as was the case with many plans in 2020, the proposed bout was scrapped due to the global pandemic, preventing travel between the United Kingdom and the United States of America.

McIntyre and Fury have continued to tease that a match will happen. With travel restrictions being lifted and fans now allowed to attend events inside arenas once again, perhaps we could finally see the former WWE Champion and the current WBC, The Ring Magazine and Lineal Heavyweight Champion face off for the first-time ever.
