Tyson Fury has refused to rule out a WWE match with Logan Paul after the drama between their respective brothers Tommy and Jake.
The controversial YouTuber – who is poised to face Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia next month – recently took a cheap shot at the Gypsy King and his sibling and laid down a very interesting challenge.
Speaking to reporters last month following the Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva press conference, he said: ‘Tyson Fury, your brother wasn’t man enough to fight my brother but I am man enough to wrestle you in WWE.
‘I know you’re 7’4″, I know your 500lb but size don’t matter in that ring. In that squared circle, come meet me in the WWE and I’ll take you out.’
Now, Fury – who is no stranger to the world of pro wrestling, having most recently been involved in the main event of WWE Clash At The Castle in Cardiff, Wales – has suggested he’s up for the challenge.
He told iDBoxing: ‘Yeah, never say never, I’m a massive WWE fan. I think it’ll be a great fight between [Logan] and Roman Reigns. I was impressed with his debut, you’ve got to as he’s doing well.’

It’s not the first time Fury has hinted at a career in wrestling one day, having spent years talking up a potential match with Drew McIntyre before plans fell through.
However, last month after Clash At The Castle he told Metro.co.uk and other media: ‘At the moment, I’m a heavyweight world champion and I have plenty of fights that I have to take in the next few years.
‘But I really have a passion for WWE, as you saw me at Crown Jewel and here and a couple of other events. Never say never, let’s just say, Triple H is here and I’d definitely be open to it in the future for sure.’
The drama between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury came after the latter was forced to put out of a fight that had already been rescheduled after he was denied entry to the United States.
The two sides have disagreed on the situation, but it seems their brothers could be willing to settle the family feud in a wrestling ring instead.
