Danielle Moinet (Summer Rae) believes Tyson Fury will crossover into Bare Knuckle Boxing.
Over the years, several former boxers and MMA fighters have crossed over into the world of bare knuckle fighting, with Conor McGregor’s company featuring as part owners of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, with former UFC fighters such as Eddie Alvarez and Mike Perry making the jump in recent years. A former pro wrestler in her own right, Danielle Moinet, formerly known as Summer Rae in WWE, has also found herself in the bare knuckle industry, serving as an interviewer for BYB Extreme Bare Knuckle Fighting.
In a new interview with Talksport, Danielle noted that she feels like Tyson Fury could successfully crossover into BKB.
“We get a lot of, UFC guys. We get a lot of MMA guys that are sick of going to the floor, that just want to stand and box. We get a lot of boxers that come to Bare Knuckle and BKB specifically because they say, I’m just sick of it being political. I just want to fight, and what’s fair, and I think the thing that I love about BKB is our matchmaker Mel, our bosses, our CEO, COO, that they do try to take the politics out of it, and they do see, what are the fair matchups? Who’s earned it? Who has knocked off a certain amount of people? That’s what I’m hearing from a lot of boxers that do come over to Bare Knuckle and come over to us, and then also the crowds. They love the crowds. They love the Trigon. It’s so different. So, yeah, like, why not? I could see some of those guys coming over, whether they do well or not. I’m not sure. I worked for Tyson Fury once, three years ago in Cardiff at a wrestling convention and he was absolutely lovely. His wife, Paris, his kids were running around and he was captivating. Like he definitely is a character and when you turn on the screen, he commands attention just from being himself. Like he’s not acting. They say in wrestling with WWE, some of the most successful characters are you not acting as an extension of yourself, and you see that with him and some of the other guys that are very big names with Conor. So why not? Let’s see.”
Moinet recently stated that it was ‘time for her to come home’, you can read more about that here.
