Tyson Fury Open To Fighting The Rock And Mike Tyson In Exhibition Bouts

Tyson Fury has stated that he's done boxing after picking up a TKO victory over Dillian Whyte in November. If the retirement sticks, the 33-year-old would finish up his career with a 32-0-1 record.

While Fury may not step back in the ring in a professional capacity, he is open to taking some exhibition fights to fill his entertainment thirst.

"I'm gonna take some exhibition matches, some 'not real' fights that are purely entertainment factor," Fury told Good Morning Britain. "This is not professional boxing, this is pure entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less. The difference is, the exhibition is you're not there to win or lose. You're there to enjoy, have a good time, and put on a show for the fans. You can fight old-timers, famous people, whoever you want. I'm looking at fighting Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Frank Bruno, whoever. The Rock, Dwayne Johnson, that would be fantastic. You never know who we could be fighting on one of these shows, but that's what I'm open to in the upcoming future."

Tyson has also openly spoken about his desire to return to WWE at some point.

Mike Tyson returned to the ring for an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr in November 2020. The Rock is a legend in the world of wrestling and one of the top draws in Hollywood, but has never stepped foot in a boxing ring in any professional capacity.
