Heavyweight contender Tyson Fury does not rule out the possibility of continuing his run in the WWE - beyond his scheduled pro wrestling debut against WWE star Braun Strowman.

Fury will take his first in-ring step in pro wrestling on October 31, when he faces Strowman in Saudi Arabia as part of the WWE's Crown Jewel event.

For several weeks, Fury has been taking part in televised angles with Strowman - to further their feud and build their match.

Fury, a lifelong fan of pro wrestling, has been training for the match at the WWE Performance Center in Florida.

Depending on how his match plays out, he would entertain the idea of extending his pro wrestling career.

"I could stay in WWE. Who knows? It depends how much I like it on the night. We will make a decision afterwards," Fury said to PA Sport. "This keeps me active, keeps me in the gym and gives me something to focus on."

Despite the controversy over sporting events taking place in Saudi Arabia, Fury sees no issue with the event taking place in the country.

"I didn't consider it because I'm fighting for an organisation who sorts all that out," Fury said. "WWE have had all that stuff before and go through it on a daily basis. I am just a fighter and that's it.

"I am not a politician or anything else, but in order for a country to change you have to be a part of the revolution and it is changing. Hence why so many big sporting contests are over there where as years ago none were over there so it is evolving."

Beyond the wrestling match, Fury is slated to face WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in a rematch on a date in February. They fought to a controversial twelve round split draw back in December of 2018.
