Tyson Fury says he will be ‘ringside’ for Clash at the Castle

Tyson Fury says he’ll have a very good seat in Cardiff for Clash at the Castle on Saturday.

Tyson Fury may not have made up his mind yet about whether he’s fully retired from boxing or not, but he knows where he’s going to be this weekend: at WWE Clash at the Castle.

In a video posted by WWE, the former heavyweight boxing world champion confirmed that he’d be in a very good seat at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales when the upcoming premium live event takes place.

Drew McIntyre, who has gone back and forth with Fury more than once on social media, took notice as well.

Sitting ringside could be significant for Fury, as it’s the way WWE got him involved with a show a few years ago. On the Oct. 4, 2019 episode of SmackDown, Fury was in a seat near the ring and ended up getting embroiled in a match involving Braun Strowman. That evolved into a program leading to a match between the two at WWE Crown Jewel, which Fury won by countout.

Fury has made hints at wanting to work with WWE again, most recently after his April boxing victory over Dillian Whyte, when he namedropped McIntyre and talked about wanting to appear at either SummerSlam or the show which became Clash at the Castle. There was even some thought that he might face McIntyre in a match in Wales at one point.

That clearly won’t be the case this Saturday, with McIntyre slated for what could be the biggest match of his career to date against Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. GiveMeSport reported earlier this week that Fury was expected to appear but added that he “almost certainly won’t be doing anything physically on the show.”

While that appears to be on the money, it doesn’t mean history couldn’t repeat itself with WWE using Fury’s presence this weekend to lead to something else down the road. Keep an eye on what the Gypsy King ends up doing, because if it’s more than just taking in the spectacle, maybe he’s ready to climb back into a wrestling ring instead of a boxing ring.
