Meanwhile, Sportskeeda caught up with Tyson Fury in an exclusive interview where he praised the WWE Performance Center.
Wrestling is not fake
In the interview, the undefeated heavyweight boxer said that wrestling is not fake as most people make it out to be and added that one has to take bumps in wrestling (which on the other hand does not apply for boxing that much) that can leave a person with serious injuries if one doesn't protect themselves properly. Fury said that while undergoing wrestling training, he has injured his shoulder, ankle and has issues with his back.
He also mentioned how hard it was for him to take his first unprotected bump while training for his match at Crown Jewel and added that if one is not careful they can end up getting seriously injured. He gave an example of how various Superstars in WWE have been plagued with spinal and neck injuries throughout their careers.
