Tyson Fury has begged WWE to bring WrestleMania to Wembley Stadium after his WBC heavyweight title fight with Dillian Whyte.
The Gypsy King is set to battle Whyte in front of 94,000 fans at the packed London venue on Saturday night, and the likes of Triple H, The Undertaker and Stephanie McMahon are backing him to win the bout.
In a video shared by Fury on Instagram, Stephanie said: ‘I remember the last time WWE had a big stadium event at Wembley and it was Summerslam 1992 but I will never forget what it felt like. The electricity.
‘And 94,000 strong will be there to see you at your homecoming knock the block off Dillian Whyte.’
Meanwhile, her husband Triple H added: ‘The Gypsy King. The king returns home. The true king of boxing returns home to Wembley, 94,000 people are going to be there and we will be watching.
‘We will be watching just like the rest of the world. Watching you blow the roof off of Wembley Stadium and knock that big dosser out.’

And The Undertaker – who has supported Fury before in his high profile bouts – said: ‘Hey, Champ. The Undertaker here. It’s about that time again, my friend. You’re going to the big house – Wembley Stadium – to put on a show.
‘Remember you are the Gypsy King and it’s time to conquer another kingdom. Dillian Whyte, he ain’t got the skills to pay any kind of bills you’re about to bring towards him.
‘Remember, my friend, float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. The hands can’t hit what the eyes can’t see. Take care of business, Tyson. I’m still here in case you need me to dig a hole to fill a soul. I’ll see you on the other side.’

Fury shared the clips on his own profile and responded with a pretty clear message to WWE to take note of the huge crowd set for Wembley this evening, and he vowed to get involved if WrestleMania ever comes to the UK.
Of course, earlier this month the company announced its first UK stadium show since SummerSlam 1992 when the action rolls into Cardiff, Wales, and it remains to be seen if Fury will be involved.
He wrote: ‘Big Shoutouts to the family over at the @wwe.

‘From the Gypsy King to the King of Kings @tripleh and @stephaniemcmahon thank you for your continued support over the years and best believe I will be back to grace the squared circle in front of the #WWEUniverse soon enough as I’ve got some unfinished business to take care of!
‘@undertaker we both know what it takes to rise from the abyss and if I need to get back off the ground to get my hands raised again you know I will time and time again just like you Deadman. Respect
‘Btw the UK fans would love a Wrestlemania right here in the nations capital at @wembleystadium and guess what the Gypsy King is ready (sic)’
