Tyson Fury has called WWE's in-ring action "too hard" for his body, and suggested he'll never step foot inside company rings for a match again.

The boxer told ESPN that he enjoyed his match with Braun Strowman back at Crown Jewel 2019, but found it "very physical and taxing on the body". Summing it up, Fury also added that he'd "rather move around the ring and dodge punches" than work another WWE bout any time soon.

This, as has been pointed out by numerous outlets, contrasts wildly with previous comments Tyson made about a possible WWE return. Previously, he'd replied to questions about pro wrestling by saying there was "still a lot of opportunity" on that front.

Apparently, something has changed.

Fury has been linked to a match vs. Drew McIntyre for quite some time now. The pair posed (and belted out some random karaoke!) together after Drew's loss to Roman Reigns at 2022's Clash At The Castle stadium show in Wales, but WWE elected not to follow up.

Tyson closed by saying he doesn't really like "getting slammed on the floor and all that sort of stuff".
