Today it was officially announced that the bout between Tyson Fury (29-0-1, 20 KOs) and Braun Strowman will take place on October 31 as part of the WWE wrestling tournament in Saudi Arabia. Under the same evening Brock Lesnar will fight Cain Velasquez.
Frank Warren, promoter of Fury, has expressed concerns that the participation in the wrestling fight can lead to injury, and as a result, failure of a rematch with Deontay Wilder, which is tentatively scheduled for next February.
