Despite only having two weeks of training as a wrestler, Tyson Fury made his WWE in-ring debut against Braun Strowman at the recent Crown Jewel event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The finish to the match, which was widely viewed as a success by WWE fans, came when the heavyweight boxer landed a huge right hand on Strowman on the ring apron, forcing “The Monster Among Men” to fall to the outside of the ring and lose via countout.

Speaking to talkSPORT this week, Fury revealed that Vince McMahon was very impressed by the way that he was able to quickly adjust to a WWE ring.

"Vince McMahon said he has recruited sports stars from all different sports and he has never seen anyone come into their game, have a couple of training sessions, and pick it up like that. I looked like a natural in there!"

Moving forward, Fury has a fight lined up against Deontay Wilder in February 2020, but he has not ruled out making a return to WWE in the near future.

The 31-year-old recently told Sportskeeda’s Gary Cassidy that he would like to take on Brock Lesnar if he ever competes for WWE again.
