Tyson Fury and Jon Jones have been going at it for a while now. These two combat sports superstars have been exchanging jabs with each other. After, UFC commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan started a debate between the two. This saga has been in continuation for a while. And it seems like now everybody is interested in watching these two lock horns against each other. The Brit started the debate by slamming Rogan for his claims over him and Jones. Fury has been calling out Jones for a boxing match. And on the contrary, Jones has been calling out the ‘Gypsy King’ for a fight inside the octagon.

Recently, Dana White opened up about the ongoing spat going between these two. And put up a proposal in front of the WBC heavyweight champion to arrange a fight between him and the UFC heavyweight champion. White gave the example of Floyd Mayweather Jr and Conor McGregor. Furthermore, he ensured that Fury will get the “money” he wants. But it seems Fury was unwilling to have any of it. Moreover, he rather refused the offer made by the UFC president. But, it seems the fans are not pleased anymore with this ongoing altercation.

Tyson Fury recently took to his Instagram to share Dana White’s statements, calling him out with a potential proposal to fight Jon Jones. And instead of agreeing with the president. The ‘Gypsy King’ being the ‘Gypsy King’ slammed the duo of White and Jones for coming up with this proposal.

We should note that White’s offer for Fury was for a fight in the UFC. And not inside the boxing ring. The 34-year-old slammed White’s offer. And wrote, “I don’t roll round the floor! I stand up & punch.” With this statement from Fury, it is safe to say that the boxer will not be meeting the UFC heavyweight champion inside the Octagon. Although a fight could materialize in the boxing ring if Jones agrees to the stipulation.

Nevertheless, fans expressed their discontent with the state of affairs.
