Yahoo! Sports recently spoke to Tyson Fury ahead of his WWE in-ring debut when he takes on Braun Strowman at the Crown Jewel pay-per-view event.
Fury was asked how his WWE deal came together. Here is what he had to say:
“I was at home, minding my own business, recovering from [the Otto Wallin fight] a few weeks ago, and I got a call from one of my guys and they asked if I would be interested in fighting in WWE. Of course, as soon as he said that I jumped at the chance. He asked if I would be OK coming off of the injury and I said, ‘Yeah, no problem.’ I got told about it on a Wednesday night at 10:30 p.m. and I was on the plane the next day at 6 a.m.”
