But how much did Fury earn for his appearance? According to reports, WWE paid him £11.9 million ($15 million) for his participation.
On the back of a successful second win over Deontay Wilder, Fury has now established his place as one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. The Gypsy King even received a special message from WWE legend The Undertaker prior to the fight.
While Fury is now fully focused on his career in the world of boxing, fans can expect him to make brief cameo WWE appearances. However, nothing has been confirmed, as of now.

Later on, Strowman would throw Dolph Ziggler on Fury, infuriating the boxer, and thus igniting a feud between the two. After the match, Fury jumped the barricade but was stopped by security.
When Fury later demanded an apology from Strowman, the two men traded insults and things quickly escalated as they engaged in a brawl.
This eventually led to a match between Tyson Fury and Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel. After his victory, Fury appeared on an episode of SmackDown, and since then has dedicated his time and energy to his boxing career.
