Tyson Fury teases UFC switch ahead of WWE appearance as he warns rivals

Tyson Fury has already switched the boxing ring for the wrestling ring - and he's now revealed he could be set for the Octagon in future.

Fury has claimed he is "taking over all combat sports" as he prepares for his first change of arena to take on Braun Strowman at WWE's Crown Jewel pay-per-view on October 31.

The Gypsy King will face his fellow giant in Saudi Arabia before preparing for his long-awaited rematch with Deontay Wilder for the WBC heavyweight title back in the boxing ring early next year.

And in his latest interview about his wrestling appearance with TMZ, Fury warned rivals from all combat sports he is eyeing dominance - including in MMA.

“I’m taking over all combat sports," Fury said.

“Whatever sport you’re in, BEWARE.

“Because the Gypsy King is coming!

“I’m coming to your sport, whatever it is. I’ll be there. MMA takeover!

“How do I look? I look a million dollars. I smell like a million dollars.

“The cut’s healing up.

“Deontay Wilder, I’m coming for you sucker!”

Fury, who suffered a nasty cut in his win over Otto Wallin last month and required 48 stitches, is said to be set for a pay day of around £12m for his wrestling match.

WWE legend Triple H has admitted he is worried about the health of Strowman when he takes on the Gypsy King, despite him being a wrestling novice.

"First and foremost, I worked with him on not caving in Braun's head. Everybody's worried about, like, 'oh my God, Tyson, what if you get hurt?' I'm worried about Braun. Nobody's concerned if Braun gets hurt," WWE executive Triple H told Bleacher Report.

"Poor old Braun would be 370-pound Braun laying on his back looking up at the stars, not having any idea that Tyson even threw a punch yet, but he's knocked out."
