Tyson Fury WINS in stunning WWE debut after KOing Braun Strowman with huge punch at Crown Jewel
TYSON FURY has continued his undefeated sporting dominance after winning by count-out in a stunning WWE debut in Saudi Arabia.
The Gypsy King - who had swapped the boxing ring for wrestling's squared circle - KO'd Braun Strowman with a huge punch at Crown Jewel.

The former unified world heavyweight champion only signed for Vince McMahon's company earlier this month as he promotes his February rematch with Deontay Wilder.
Fury, who will reportedly bank £12million from his WWE appearances, 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 the Monster Among Men and flatten him for a count-out victory.
Strowman got the last laugh after he returned with a vengeance to slam Fury to the mat.

And fans were impressed with the Gypsy King's skills for a complete novice, delighting fans by reenacting his final-round revival in his first fight against Wilder in true Undertaker style.
One tweeted: "Tyson Fury is doing a damn good job for his first-ever wrestling match. You can tell he took his training seriously."
Another said: "Pretty rad to see Tyson Fury is trying to put on an actual match at Crown Jewel. Not just punching the whole time with lots of bells and whistles."
A third added that Fury was a "natural" and had been "great".
