WWE legend Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has heaped praise upon Manchester boxer Tyson Fury, declaring he could go down as the greatest of all time.
The Rock is a keen follower of boxing and other combat sports, with his eye being caught by something that Fury posted on social media in recent times.
Fury had stated 'pain is temporary and greatness lasts forever', sparking a response from Johnson who heaped praise upon the world champion fighter.
“A good buddy of mine, who many of you know, if not all of you, Tyson Fury, the heavyweight champion of the world,” he stated.
“He will go down as one of the greatest of all time, possibly the greatest of all time, he’s in that conversation. He was paraphrasing someone who we both love and admire, Muhammad Ali.
“And he talked about the pain that you go through is temporary but the greatness of the other side is forever. And I love that quote because it’s the thing that we’ve always got to constantly remember.
“If we can just get past that pain threshold training, whatever it is, on the other side of that, man it’s the good s***. It’s the greatness, so get past that threshold and get to your greatness.”
Fury has crossed over into WWE previously, beating Braun Strowman in Saudi Arabia, and has previously teased a return to the sport.
His wife Paris Fury has also stated that she expects to see Fury return to the WWE ring in the future, with his children big fans of the sport.
That's likely to come after his boxing career comes to a close though, with Dillian Whyte up next and a heavyweight unification fight on the cards later this year.
