Tyson Fury issues response to Braun Strowman and confirms he will attend WWE Raw

Tyson Fury has confirmed he will be in attendance at WWE Raw on Monday night.

Fury, 31, was ringside at Smackdown on Friday night when he was goaded by Braun Strowman.

Heavyweight boxer Fury  had to be held back by several security staff as he appeared to try and get in the ring with Strowman after being angered by his antics.

The Brit was invited to Raw on Monday to have his say, amid speculation he could make a return to wrestling.

Fury took to Instagram on Saturday to issue a response to Strowman, alongside his wife Parris and five children.

He confirmed he attended the event for son Prince John James' birthday, when he was goaded by Strowman.

"Last night we attended WWE Smackdown for my son's 8th birthday. Me, as a lifelong WWE fan, and it is his favourite thing," Fury said in a video on Instagram

"I was insulted in front of my whole family by Braun Strowman. It got a little bit heated and we saw what happened.

"I have been invited to an open mic session at RAW on Monday night. I accept and I will be there.

"If Braun Strowman doesn't behave himself, he will get some of these hands, the big dosser."

Fury's children then chanted "you big dosser" along with their father as they aimed jibes at Strowman.

The unsavoury incident headlined what was a dramatic beginning to the newly launched Friday Night Smackdown on America’s Fox Network.

Brock Lesnar was attacked by former UFC rival Cain Velasquez, shortly after becoming world champion by beating Kofi Kingston.

Hollywood superstar The Rock made his return to the show he help christen 20 years ago - and delivered his signature Rock Bottom on Baron Corbin.
