5 legendary boxers who have appeared in WWE

#2. Tyson Fury has appeared multiple times for WWE

Tyson Fury is one of the modern day greats of boxing that has appeared in WWE. He has triumphed from positions he shouldn't have been able to get up from and has solidified himself as one of the most inspirational athletes of all-time.

Fury is a WWE fan himself, and appeared on the debut of SmackDown on FOX. He was involved in a staredown with Braun Strowman. Fury appeared the following week on RAW with an open mic, but it sparked a brawl between the pair. It all resulted in a match at the 2019 Crown Jewel pay-per-view.

The boxing champion beat Braun via countout and put in a great showing, whilst reportedly earning around $15 million for his appearance. Fury appeared once again a few weeks later in Manchester, England, and aligned himself with Strowman to fend off The B-Team.

#1. Mike Tyson made a huge impact in WWE during the Attitude Era

In the midst of the Monday Night Wars, WWE had a surprise up their sleeve which they unveiled on the road to WrestleMania 14.

Mike Tyson was booked into the storyline heading into the show of shows. He ultimately became the special outside enforcer for the WWE Championship match between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels.

Prior to WrestleMania, Tyson seemingly aligned himself with Shawn Michaels and DX. At the event itself, Mike Tyson punched The Heartbreak Kid to cost him the match that saw Stone Cold Steve Austin win the championship. The punch became one of the most iconic moments in WrestleMania history.

Tyson would return to WWE in 2010 to be the Guest Host of WWE RAW, before being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012.
