WWE legends Triple H, The Undertaker, and Stephanie McMahon have given Tyson Fury their backing ahead of his WBC heavyweight title fight with Dillian Whyte.

The Wembley bout is set to see 94,000 pack into the London arena and the wrestling superstars are confident the 'Gypsy King' will do the business at his homecoming.

In a video posted on Instagram by Fury himself, the trio clearly believe a win is a foregone conclusion, while The Undertaker even channeled Muhammad Ali in his speech to the champion.

McMahon started, saying: "I remember the last time WWE had a big stadium event at Wembley and it was Summerslam 1992 but I will never forget what it felt like. The electricity.

"And 94,000 strong will be there to see you at your homecoming knock the block off Dillian Whyte."

Triple H added: "The Gypsy King. The king returns home. The true king of boxing returns home to Wembley, 94,000 people are going to be there and we will be watching. We will be watching just like the rest of the world. Watching you blow the roof off of Wembley Stadium and knock that big dosser out."

And The Undertaker - who also begged Fury to knockout Deontay Wilder - continued the WWE love-in.

He said: "Hey, Champ. The Undertaker here. It's about that time again, my friend. You're going to the big house - Wembley Stadium - to put on a show.

"Remember you are the Gypsy King and it's time to conquer another kingdom. Dillian Whyte, he ain't got the skills to pay any kind of bills you're about to bring towards him.

"Remember, my friend, float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see.

"Take care of business, Tyson. I'm still here incase you need me to dig a hole to fill a soul.

"I'll see you on the other side."

In his post on Instagram, Fury thanked the sports entertainment giants for the backing.

"Big Shoutouts to the family over at the @wwe," he said.

"From the Gypsy King to the King of Kings @tripleh and @stephaniemcmahon thank you for your continued support over the years and best believe I will be back to grace the squared circle in front of the #WWEUniverse soon enough as I’ve got some unfinished business to take care of!

"@undertaker we both know what it takes to rise from the abyss and if I need to get back off the ground to get my hands raised again you know I will time and time again just like you Deadman. Respect 👑🥊

"Btw the UK fans would love a Wrestlemania right here in the nations capital at @wembleystadium and guess what the Gypsy King is ready 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿."
