#2 Tyson Fury vs Braun Strowman for Crown Jewel
Another match that was announced for Crown Jewel at the press conference yesterday is the match between boxer Tyson Fury and Braun Strowman. Their feud also began on SmackDown's debut show on FOX, where Strowman threw Dolph Ziggler on Fury, which infuriated the boxer.
The two almost came to blows on RAW, when Fury arrived to seek an apology from Strowman. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer has revealed that the Fury-Strowman match will be a one-off match as Fury has a fight in February.
“Tyson Fury, for now, is a one-match thing. He’s got a fight in February, so they asked Tyson Fury and he said, ‘Hey you know what? I don’t have a fight until February, I’ve got some time.’"
"He’s been in the Performance Center training every day. He’s really, you know, he’s really gung-ho, he’s not going to go in there to embarrass himself... you know, I mean, I’m not saying he’s going to have a great match, but he’s working very hard at it," said Meltzer.
The report also said that the Saudi Prince is a fan of Fury, which could have been a reason for this match.
