Tyson Fury brilliantly re-enacts recovery from Deontay Wilder knockdown during WWE win

Tyson Fury proved he is the perfect showman for WWE as he re-enacted his incredible recovery against Deontay Wilder.

Fury somehow picked himself up from the canvas against the heavyweight world champion in the final round of their clash last December.

He was denied victory by the judges as they scored the thrilling bout a draw in Los Angeles.

Ten months on and Fury was at it again as he made a successful wrestling debut against the giant Braun Strowman.

Having been knocked down in Saudi Arabia, Fury lay motionless on the canvas before slowing rising to his feet - much to Strowman's shock.

Fury went on to weather a storm from the veteran wrestler before delivering a right hand which left Strowman crumpled in a heap.

Strowman was unable to beat the referee's count but climbed back into the ring to slam Fury to the canvas.

Fury will now turn his attentions to his rematch with Wilder next year.

He said: "It was fantastic, a great experience.

"I was really happy to be here in Saudi Arabia on a massive show and Braun is definitely the Monster Among Men.

"When I hit him with that right hand, I couldn't believe he got up and slammed me to the floor. It was a cheap shot after the bell but what can we do, it's WWE.

"I've got a big fella called Deontay Wilder to see to on February 22 and we'll go from there."
