After Tyson Fury disagreed with Joe Rogan’s views, the WBC heavyweight champion of the world took to Instagram and issued Jon Jones a challenge in boxing. In his message, ‘The Gyspy King’ declared that he is not a cage fighter but the best boxer alive. Likewise, the British boxer suggested a boxing match between Jones and Fury.
The entire beef started when in one episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, the UFC commentator announced that if, in a hypothetical scenario, Jon Jones and Tyson Fury were locked inside a room, Fury would not make it out. As soon as the statement came to Fury’s notice, ‘The Gypsy King’ opposed the view and called Rogan a “little p*s*y“. Contesting what Rogan earlier said, Fury declared, “Not a man born from a mother can f**k me up. If we were ever on our own in a room, whatever happens in a room, I’d be walking out not a f***ing problem.”

Taking to Instagram, ‘The Gypsy King’ who considers himself “the baddest man on the planet,” declared that he is not a cage fighter but a boxer. Hence, he asked Jones to be his guest if the American mixed martial artist wanted to walk into the boxing ring with Fury. “I see Jon Jones is piped up. Jon, you’re talking about me in a cage. I’m not a cage fighter, mate. I’m a boxer. The best boxer actually. So, if you wanna come into a boxing ring and fight with me, be my guest. Let me know. You don’t have to call anybody else,” said Fury.

At this, Jon Jones took to Instagram and in one of his stories he sarcastically said, “Oh boy, Tyson Fury out there claiming he gon’ beat me up. I better back off.” Besides Jon Jones, Tyson Fury recently called out Francis Ngannou. With various names now being linked with Fury, it is difficult to understand who he would ultimately fight. Just a few weeks ago, fans were hopeful that Fury would face either Zhilei Zhang or Andy Ruiz Jr. And now, he is mentioning the names of mixed martial artists.
