Tyson Fury Wants To Fight The Rock In Huge Boxing Comeback

The recently-retired Tyson Fury has revealed he wants to fight Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in a huge marquee exhibition fight.

Incredibly, the Gypsy King has named the former WWE legend-turned-Hollywood megastar on a stacked shortlist of potential opponents he’d be eager to get in the ring with.

While the undefeated boxer insists he is remaining retired, for now at least, he admits he’d be interested in cashing in on an exhibition bout – the sort which have grown in popularity in recent years thanks to a few YouTubers and some retired boxers.

Fury’s eyes must have lit up when he heard those figures, as he took to Good Morning Britain to outline his future plans for some high-profile bouts.

He said: “I'm going to do some exhibition fights, they're not real fights, it's for the entertainment. This is not professional boxing, this is pure entertainment, that's all it is, nothing more, nothing less.

"I told (promoter) Frank Warren to show me the money and he has to if he wants me on those shows.”

As for Fury's professional boxing career, huge match-ups would certainly be in wait if the two-time world heavyweight champion did decide to return.

Marquee matchups against the likes of Anthony Joshua would turn the world of boxing on its head, however, Fury has claimed it’ll take a massive payday to get him in that sort of matchup.

Taking to Twitter, he said: “I, The Gypsy King, am happily retired.

“But to get me out of retirement, considering I don’t need the money and I don’t need the aggravation, it’s going to cost these people half a (billion)”.

While the British boxer certainly seems to be baiting his retirement as a means of making more money he has maintained that any potential fights are just rumours at this stage. 

After the win, he revealed the fight was ‘the end’ of The Gypsy King.
