Tyson Fury to be in Cardiff as WWE Clash at the Castle comes to city

Tyson Fury is set to mingle with wrestling fans from across Europe who have come to Cardiff this weekend for Clash at the Castle, WWE's first pay per view stadium show in the UK for 30 years.

The Gypsy King has not been announced to appear on the long-awaited show himself but, having previously appeared in the ring for WWE, speculation is increasing he may make an appearance at the show in some capacity.

He has previously spoken of wanting to be part of the Welsh super show but, so far, his only announced appearance in Cardiff this weekend looks set to be elsewhere.

On Saturday Fury will be posing for professional photos and signing autographs at £100 a time for fans at WrestleFest, an event pitched as 'the ultimate wrestling pre-party' although it is not affiliated with WWE or connected to Clash at the Castle in any way.

He will be joined by wrestlers including Bret 'Hitman' Hart, Mickie James, Nick Aldis and more between 11am and 4pm.

Meanwhile, a short walk across the city, more than 60,000 fans will descend on the Principality Stadium from 3pm when doors open for the WWE show, which will see British wrestler Drew McIntyre take on Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns in the main event.

McIntyre has previously spoken of his desire to fight Fury and called him out when he announced his retirement earlier in the year. However, previous reports of a 'Battle of Britain' bout between the pair suggested the match would be pitched as big pay per view draw, meaning it's unlikely it would just happen with no fanfare or previous publicity.

Fury has a long history with WWE, having previously wrestled Braun Strowman at the Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia in 2019, although speaking at the time he said the training was harder than he'd expected.

Some tickets for Clash at the Castle are still available via Ticketmaster here from £46.89. Meanwhile, fans who can't make it to the weekend can watch it live on BT Sport 3 at no extra cost if they're an existing subscriber or using a £25 No-Contract Monthly Sport Pass if they're new to the service.
