Tyson Fury shadowboxes in WWE ring ahead of Crown Jewel fight vs Braun Strowman

Tyson Fury wowed fans with a silky display of shadowboxing inside a WWE ring ahead of his much-anticipated bout with Braun Strowman.

Fury will take on Strowman at the WWE Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia on 31 October - it is Fury's WWE debut.

In the video posted on his Instagram account Fury, wearing a blue vest and white shorts, moves around the ring with ease as he shadowboxes.

The WWE logo can be seen on the corners of the ring, as well as a walkway connected to the entrance of the arena from which superstars will enter the ring.

Fury is joined in the ring by his daughter, who performs somersaults around him as he trains.

Fury is due to fight a long-awaited rematch with American heavyweight Deontay Wilder in February as he makes a return to boxing,

It was recently revealed that Fury's promoter Frank Warren was livid with Fury's decision to take part in WWE, given that the Brit could suffer an injury that could jeopardise the clash with Wilder.

“That’s true, I wanted it to be a big surprise," Fury told the ESPN MMA show of Warren only finding out after watching on television.

"He was mad, quite p****d to be fair.

“He said to me, ‘I think this is a really bad idea, you could get injured. Braun Strowman is a massive guy. What happens if the cut reopens? What happens if you get injured shoulders or legs or whatever?’

“I said, ‘What happens if I go out the front door and get run over by a bus in the morning?’"
