Former heavyweight world boxing champion Tyson Fury has made a successful start in the world of professional wrestling.

He faced off against Braun Strowman at the "Crown Jewel" WWE event in Saudi Arabia Thursday night. 

Fury won the match by count-out, after knocking Strowman outside of the ring. 

He's expected to return to boxing with a rematch against Deontay Wilder in February next year.
