      The Gypsy King’s upcoming plans are uncertain but he teased a return to the ring in Saudi Arabia as he shared a story on Instagram showing a picture of himself competing at 2019 WWE event Crown Jewel.
      The British superstar then declared that the “Saudi Arabian king is coming back”.
      Fury said: “In the gym guys, smashing it. Absolutely smashing it.
      “The Saudi Arabian king is coming back! Get up there my boy!
      “Some big news coming, hold tight!”
      Fury was previously linked with a fight against fellow Brit Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia.
      But plans fell through as Wilder triggered his rematch clause against the undefeated heavyweight and AJ faced Oleksandr Usyk.

      However, it is unknown when Vince McMahon’s promotion will be returning to the Middle East.
      The lineal heavyweight champion has been linked with an upcoming match against fellow Brit Dillian Whyte.
      The WBC made Whyte the mandatory challenger in October but a deal has been delayed by rows over money. More

      Influential pundit Stephen A. Smith labelled youngest brother Jake a ‘joke’ on Christmas Eve after he called out pound-for-pound star Canelo Alvarez.
      But WWE legend and ex-UFC star Punk said he was impressed by the brothers’ showmanship as they pulled in the viewers.
      He told Cageside Seats: “If you’re making money, you’re technically not really doing anything wrong.
      “I think everything’s entertainment. I think some people conflate being a fighter with being an entertainer, but when it makes dollars, it makes sense. 
      “And what the Paul brothers are doing, I think for the lack of a better term, it’s old school pro wrestling, right?
      “You could say they’re crossing over, but there’s so many similarities between the two businesses. They command attention.

      Jake recently scored a knockout win over former UFC champ Tyron Woodley after Britain’s Tommy Fury withdrew from their scheduled bout.

      He added: “I’ll never criticiSe in a negative way or fashion anybody who makes the walk, anybody who trains their ass off. Because I did it and I know what it takes. 
      “And you put yourself out there, you put yourself on the line, you know? And a lot of the times, a lot of the sacrifice goes unnoticed. But it’s what it is.” More

      Jake Paul called out by 19st WWE star Drew McIntyre for fight as YouTuber prepares for Tommy Fury showdown

      by

      WWE superstar Drew McIntyre has hailed Jake Paul for becoming the most hated man in boxing – and now wants to knock him out in the squared circle. Paul has made huge waves in the boxing world over the last 18 months, so much so he bagged back-to-back fights against former UFC champions Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.

      Paul’s ability to cause outrage in the boxing community has impressed many, including two-time WWE champ McIntyre.
      The Scot told talkSPORT: “Jake Paul is a foe of everybody I guess. He gets it.
      “So few people are willing to be true bad guys and make the public pay to see them get beat and he is a true bad guy.
      “Whenever I see him show up at these events and the whole crowd starts booing him, I’m like ‘wow, that’s pretty cool.’
      “He is basically the number one heel in the world so if he wants to swing by WWE and get Claymored in the face, that’s just fine with me!”
      McIntyre sees similarities between Paul’s approach to the fight game and that of ‘The Greatest’, Muhammad Ali.

      He added: “It’s like Muhammad Ali back in the day.
      “Everyone just remembers the good parts and how great he was, but if you remember in the beginning of Ali’s career, he was playing the heel and taking inspiration from WWE.”
      Problem Child Paul is gearing up for a grudge match with bitter rival Tommy Fury on December 18.
      The social media sensation goes into the showdown as a huge underdog but is adamant he’ll shock the world and beat the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury.
      He said: “I will TKO him in the later rounds.

      “He hasn’t had a fight past four rounds so I think he’ll be gassed.
      “I think this will be the first time he’s getting punched in the face by someone who can actually hit and is the same weight as him.
      “He’s always fought smaller guys with losing records. So I think he’s going to fade. I know he’s going to fade.”

      Eddie Hearn is lining up his fighter, Dillian Whyte, to challenge Fury’s WBC crown next.
      But McIntyre is confident a bout between him and Fury would draw a lot of attention too.
      McIntyre told The Mirror: “The way I put it, I’m angling for a significant UK pay-per-view.
      “I won’t shut up about it until it happens and Fury and I have been going back-and-forth for a long time.
      “If we needed something a little outside the box to get people’s attention, especially in the UK, someone of his stature in boxing and my stature in WWE that would draw some eyes.
      “It would be a battle of Britain and that’s what I’d like to see.”

      One recent one saw her dressed in a blue thong bikini, with the caption: “Wrestled today, didn’t take a picture.
      “Here’s some pics of me looking like a h** instead. Yolo.”
      VanZant, 27, left the UFC in 2020 and signed a shock deal with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
      But in her first two brutal fights without gloves on, she was beaten, first to Britain Hart then in a rematch against old UFC rival Rachael Ostovich.
      It has left her bare-knuckle boxing future in question, with rumours circling of a switch back to MMA.
      VanZant has also featured on pro wrestling promotion AEW lately, alongside her American Top Team training partners and gym owner Dan Lambert.

      But the American still has one fight left on her BKFC deal and will return to honour it in early 2022.
      Promoter Dave Feldman told BJPenn.com: “We are in talks with Paige and we will be bringing her back in early 2022.
      “It is heartbreaking for her to lose her first two fights, but she is putting her heart back into this thing.
      “We will work out a deal in the next week or so, and you will see Paige VanZant back in the BKFC ring.”

      Tyson Fury ‘in touch with Vince McMahon all the time’ as champ’s wife Paris says WWE return is ‘definitely’ happening

      by

      TYSON FURY is ‘in touch with Vince McMahon all the time’, according to his wife Paris.And the boxer’s other half reckons the Gypsy King’s return to the WWE is ‘definitely happening’.
      Paris Fury says her husband Tyson is definitely set to return to WWECredit: Instagram
      Fury has already tasted victory as a wrestler after beating Braun Strowman via count out in October 2019’s Crown Jewel.
      And his wife said there is no doubt he will do it again ‘to be that cool dad’.
      Paris told BBC Newcastle: “He is in touch with Vince McMahon all the time.
      “He loves it. My sons are all big fans of it.
      “For Tyson to do it is kind of like a Disneyland trip, the kids love to go and they meet all the wrestlers.
      “To be that cool dad that can give his kids that dream, he does it.

      “I think that’s one of the reasons we’ve come to do this, and obviously, being a young man, he told me he was a fan of all these wrestlers.
      “So he’s definitely probably going to go into that again.
      “I’m sure he will bounce into that WWE ring one of the days.”
      Fury is said to have banked £12million from his WWE appearance.
      And he made sure his first-ever wrestling entrance was one to remember as he came out to The Isley Brothers’ ‘It’s Your Thing’.
      The ever-charismatic Brit also arrived to the ring dressed in a traditional Arabic thawb dress, to the delight of the Saudi crowd in Riyadh.
      Fury had weighed in an incredible NINE STONE lighter than his WWE opponent Strowman and it showed early on as the heavyweight boxer was forced into the corner.
      But the Gypsy King soon showed off his newly-developed skill-set with a roll-through, kip-up and a side-headlock before several trademark shots to the body.

      At one point, Fury even proved his athletic prowess by countering Strowman’s shoulder tackle with an assisted dropkick.
      The two soon ended up on the outside of the ring, with the Monster Among Men barging Fury over twice in succession.
      Yet on the third, the lineal champion was able to unleash the ‘Dosser Drop’ on Strowman and flatten him for a count-out victory.

      Hafthor ‘The Mountain’ Bjornsson reveals he was approached by WWE but remains focussed on Eddie Hall strongman scrap

      HAFTHOR BJORNSSON revealed he has been approached multiple times to join WWE.But ‘The Mountain’ , 32, insists he is fully focused on his scrap with strongman rival Eddie Hall.

      Bjornsson has already moved from strongest man competitions to boxing.
      He appeared to be the ideal candidate to join the wrestling promotion with his 6ft 9ins frame and Game of Thrones fame.
      Tyson Fury and Floyd Mayweather are among the big names to make guest appearances for Vince McMahon.
      But speaking to Logan Paul on the Impaulsive podcast, the giant said a switch to WWE is not for him, especially with the travel and time commitments taking him away from his homeland.
      Paul asked: “Have you ever considered WWE or was that ever on your or their radar?”
      Bjornsson replied: “Theirs. They reached out a few times.

      “I thought about it but like I said before… Iceland.
      “The more I started to travel the more I started to appreciate Iceland and the less I wanted to live somewhere else.
      “When I was younger I was like, ‘Yeah I will move somewhere else.’
      “Then I started to travel a lot, travelled around the world, and was then like, ‘No.'”
      Bjornsson, who has previously sparred with Conor McGregor, is preparing for his mammoth showdown with Hall next year.
      He has three exhibition boxing fights under his belt already, drawing his first two before beating Devon Larratt in September with a first-round knockout.
      To get into shape for boxing, the 2018 world’s strongest man shed a whopping nine stone – and told SunSport now he is always hungry.
      Bjornsson said: “There’s a few changes in the diet, not eating nearly as much, in strongman I used to eat a lot. 
      “It was all about eating every two to three hours, big meals, while here I’m almost always hungry and always like to eat more. 
      “The diet and the training are the biggest change in the two sports.”

      “Thankfully I know a couple of guys who can make it happen for him, I have done alright out of of it , I am undefeated.”
      Fury also hinted that he’ll be making a return to a WWE ring at some point in the near future.
      He continued: “I am sure I will be making another entrance in the WWE sometime soon, probably.”

      He said: “I just wanted to reach out and wish you good luck on tomorrow night’s fight.
      “Not that you need it, you’ve already smashed this guy really properly, and I have no doubt that you’re gonna do it again.
      “I just wanted you to know, I’m gonna be watching and I wanna see you drop this guy one more time.
      “You smash this guy and when you’re looking over him, just for me, look over him and say, ‘Rest In Peace.'”
