During a recent interview with ESPN’s Get Up, Triple H said that undefeated boxer Tyson Fury is “custom built” for WWE. He said,
“Well for us, we look for athletes from all over the globe, from every sport, every walk of life. But for us to have somebody at the height of their popularity and ‘recognizability’ like a Tyson Fury, you know? This came to my attention months ago. The alliance between Top Rank and ESPN Plus. I went to the Lomachenko fight at the time he was signing with Top Rank, it just opened my eyes to that possibility. We had a moment in time where we could get something done with him, we made the offer, he was thrilled to do it and it worked out perfectly for us. And you know, he’ll say it, I’ll say it, he’s custom made for this. Sports entertainment, he is the entertainment, that goes with the sport.”
