Tyson Fury won the WBC Heavyweight and The Ring Heavyweight Championships on Saturday night by beating Deontay Wilder at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. And now that Fury has some gold around his waist once again, one of WWE's champions wants another crack at "The Gypsy King." Braun Strowman took to Twitter after Fury's win and offered him a shot at his Intercontinental Championship, referencing their first match (which Fury won via count-out) at Crown Jewel back in October. The reports entering the fight were that, if he won, Fury would be apart of WrestleMania 36 in April.

Nothing has been announced from WWE's official channels as of this writing.

Strowman won the title, the first singles belt of his career, by beating Shinsuke Nakamura on the Jan. 31 episode of Friday Night SmackDown. "The Monster Among Men" has been locked in a feud with Nakamura, Cesaro and Sami Zayn for a couple of months, but he and Elias have consistently come out on top against the heels. Their latest battle on this week's SmackDown was a "Symphony of Destruction" tag team match, which saw Nakamura walk away with a nasty injury.

Don’t worry. I’m a tough. But, the piano was toughest. @adamscherr99 and I couldn’t beat it.
