The British Heavyweight Boxer Tyson Fury recently had an interview with Behind The Gloves and revealed his four WWE plans that was cancelled due to Covid-19. He said that was planned to appear at WrestleMania 36, Summer Slam 2020 and Royal Rumble event.
He also had plans to fight Drew McIntyre in United Kingdom pay-per-view but none of them was happened due to pandemic.
“I was supposed to go to SummerSlam last year and I was supposed to go to WrestleMania last year, and I was also supposed to fight Drew McIntyre in a pay-per-view event in the UK. But none of that happened thanks to COVID.
“So COVID’s cost me SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, pay-per-view with Drew McIntyre, the [Deontay] Wilder rematch, and the [Anthony] Joshua fight, so thank you, COVID. And I was supposed to meet the President of the United States, Donald Trump. I was supposed to meet the Pope of Rome, among other things, so it’s cost me a lot. It’s one of them things.” (H/T: SK Wrestling)
