Tyson Fury reacts to win over Braun Strowman on WWE debut

Tyson Fury is ready to turn his attention to Deontay Wilder after his successful WWE debut.

The former heavyweight world champion beat Braun Strowman with a stunning right hand with the veteran wrestler failing to beat the referee's count.

And although he did not rule out a return to the wrestling ring, Fury will focus on his rematch with Wilder which is pencilled in for February 22 in Las Vegas.

There had been fears that Fury would injure himself during his fight with Strowman having only had a matter of weeks to prepare.

But he did not reopen the cut he suffered against Otto Walin in September and 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."
