Tyson Fury Beats Braun Strowman At WWE Crown Jewel Match

By Daily Sports on November 1, 2019

Tyson Fury's first ever wrestling match had costume, soul music, trash talk, powerslams and one knockout punch.

After all was said and done, the undefeated former heavyweight boxing champion is now an undefeated WWE Superstar, after one match.

Four weeks of build-up to Fury’s fight against the 6ft 8in ‘Monster Among Men’ Braun Strowman culminated at the Crown Jewel event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Thursday – with the Briton landing a right hand on his opponent and winning by virtue of Strowman failing to get back into the ring before a count of 10.

This won’t go down as one of Fury’s greatest sporting achievements – because, spoiler alert, wrestling isn’t a sport. But Fury has enthusiastically thrown himself into the world of scripted fighting and has been a showman from start to finish in a venture that has reportedly earned him £12m.

Here’s how it went down: The ring walk

A batman costume, jazzy shirts and plain old boxing shorts – Fury’s wardrobe has been varied down the years. So what clobber would he bust out for his WWE debut?

Always one to try to ingratiate himself to the locals, Fury emerged in full Arab robe, including headdress, and stepped out from the curtain to the soothing soul sound of the Isley Brothers’ “It’s Your Thing”, with pyrotechnics blazing. (BBC)
