Tyson Fury’s boxing promoter, Frank Warren, was recently interviewed by talkSPORT. During the interview, Warren spoke about Fury’s decision to wrestle for WWE.
It turns out that Fury didn’t discuss his plans beforehand with Warren. As his promoter, Warren expressed his concern about Fury potentially getting injured.
Here is what Warren said:
“What can you say? He went out there to watch it and the next minute he’s involved in it, it’s unbelievable. But that’s Tyson. He’s supposed to be taking a rest and taking it easy, but he’s decided that he wants to do this and he’s going to do it… No he didn’t [discuss it with me]. He’s done it and we’ve discussed it afterwards. I’d be a liar if I said I was pleased with it, I’d prefer him not to do it but he’s doing it.”
On a potential injury:
“Listen, I’ve seen WWE fighters get cuts, it’s the nature of contact sports. It could happen but I hope it doesn’t. I’d prefer he didn’t do it because it could jeopardize his boxing career. But he’s doing it and he’s his own man. In some ways I suppose it’s keeping him focussed and keeping fit and well. It’s not like he’s a baby, he’s 30 years of age.”
