Fury, 31, is no stranger to wrestling having made a high-profile cameo when he beat Braun Strowman at the WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia last October.
Speaking to Bang Showbiz, McIntyre, 34, said: “Right now, I’m concerned about our superstars getting the opportunity first.
“They’re the ones that have worked the hardest for it, those are the ones that deserve it. They’re going to get [a stadium show], this is a project down the line obviously.
“But maybe that’s where the match with Fury happens, as a Battle of Britain.”

Fury went on to destroy Deontay Wilder back in the boxing ring in February but has since revealed he would be open to a return to WWE.
And McIntyre is keen to take on his fellow Brit if he does.
He added: “The big thing is, we want out fan base to be there but we also want to attract some eyes that maybe aren’t on the WWE product.
“Tyson Fury is a smart guy, he understands the magnitude of WWE and the global reach.
“Tyson’s an entertainer. He mentioned my name leading up to WrestleMania, I mentioned his name after I won at WrestleMania.
“He latched right onto it, we got into a back and forth. He understands that Tyson Fury versus the WWE champion Drew McIntyre could be a huge match.”
