Tyson Fury apart from being a world-class heavyweight boxer, is a showman, a mass entertainer who has become one of the biggest boxing stars of his generation. Often touted as one of the modern-day greats, the undefeated British boxer's aura is what sets him apart.

He oozes confidence and drips zeal, few things which have often been found in the WWE hits. Fury's ability to capture the attention of millions has made him a global star and will surely aid him in WWE as well. From his uncanny mind games to his utterly appealing swagger, Fury has every weapon in his arsenal to become a massive WWE Superstar.

#1 Might Struggle: Lack of moves

Tyson Fury may have a lot of skills up his alley in the field of boxing but professional wrestling is an altogether different ball game. Superstars strive to deliver moves that shall enthrall fans and WWE enthusiasts will agree to the fact that the standards have been raised in the last decade or so.

With the advent of NXT, more and more skilled in-ring performers are surfacing which makes us all ponder as to how will Tyson Fury with his boxing attributes stand toe-to-toe with the modern-day Superstars who have a vast number of moves up their sleeve.

WWE Universe has grown habitual to witnessing WWE Superstars perform mind-boggling moves inside the ring which is why Fury’s limited skill set might be a little underwhelming for the WWE enthusiasts. Yes, a massive knockout punch will be celebrated but in this ever-expanding business, a Superstar needs much more than that in order to stand out. Can the Gypsy King provide enough to mesmerize the WWE Universe?

#2 Will be a hit: Fits the bill for the ‘Giant’ category

WWE and its love for 'Giants' is an age-old love story! Vince McMahon has been a fan of big men and numerous giants have graced the sacred squared circle of WWE. From Big Show to Braun Strowman, the company has always possessed a good number of goliaths in their ranks. Tyson Fury will be a sensational addition to the long list, thanks to his gigantic physical stature which helps his case as being reckoned amongst the 'Big Men' of the company.

Towering at close to 7 feet, Fury is a mighty big man who's known for his crushing jibes and tactical fighting style. From Hulk Hogan bodyslamming Andre The Giant to Brock Lesnar's ring-breaking Supplex to Big Show, a plethora of memorable moments have been orchestrated with big men in the picture. The Gypsy King has already competed once in the company, now it remains to be seen whether the WWE Universe will get an opportunity to see to him compete again.

#2 Might Struggle: Poor injury track record

Tyson Fury with all his credentials as a champion boxer comes with baggage, a poor injury track record. The Gypsy King has suffered quite a few gruesome injuries in his boxing career and it won't be wrong to say that his constant involvement inside WWE's sacred square circle might open up the old wounds.

WWE Superstars have set the bar high these days and for Fury to shine in the company with a poor injury track record, he will need a lot of luck, something that doesn't often turn up. The former WBO Boxing champion may have ruled the boxing ring but things in WWE work a bit differently. He suffered a horrendous eye injury during the bout against Otto Walin and will need to be extra cautious in WWE because of the high risk involved in this business.

#3 Will be a hit: Possesses godly mic-skills

His press conferences often gain millions of views online and it won’t be far-fetched to say that Fury knows how to handle the mic.

An out-and-out entertainer, Fury often gets under the skin of his opponents with his immaculate trash-talking skills. WWE is standing on a few pillars and promos constitute a specific pillar that helps the company stand or shall we say stand out.

The Gypsy King wears his heart on his sleeve and has never shied away from a verbal confrontation. His impressive attributes on the mic will certainly help Vince McMahon and WWE's cause as the company constantly looks for Superstars who practice the art of talking to perfection.
