The noted UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan, unknowingly stirred up a feud with the famed current WBC Heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury. Rogan answered a hypothetical question about who would come out alive if Tyson Fury and Jon Jones were locked inside a room. The 55-year-old chose the current UFC Heavyweight champ, Jones, which infuriated ‘The Gypsy King’. Amid all of this chaos, the former UFC Heavyweight champ, Francis Ngannou, also answered one of Fury’s recent Instagram videos looking to take him on inside the boxing ring.

Even after his recent signing with the famed MMA promotion, PFL, Ngannou reportedly is still interested in stepping inside the boxing ring. A recent Instagram report from ‘ESPN Ringside’ showcased the online spat between Ngannou and Fury. ‘The Gypsy King’ also gave out a few stern words for the former UFC Heavyweight kingpin.

The entire combat sports world knows about the brash nature of ‘The Gypsy King’. Fury often takes to his social media accounts to blast off his opponents with mocking call-out videos. Recently, he showcased this side of himself once more. Fury took to his Instagram and called out his rivals, Oleksandr Usyk, and Anthony Joshua for a showdown. He also mentioned how his other competitors were ducking a bout with him.

At a stage, Fury yelled, “Who’s out there? Who’s available?” and stated that he was ready to fight whoever shows up. Further, he also claimed himself to be the “baddest motherf***er in the planet”.

However, Ngannou chose to interfere in Fury’s bragging this time. ‘The Predator’ commented, “I have been here the whole time @Tyson_Fury. Since none of these boxers want to fight, let’s make it official.”

Even though a number of fans had heard rumors of a showdown between Fury and Ngannou previously, the bout didn’t actually materialize. Still, Fury’s usual brashy claims might have triggered this tweet from ‘The Predator’.

Some fans might also take this respectful tweet from Ngannou as a rather sarcastic one. Apparently, ‘The Gypsy King’ was also quick to notice Ngannou’s reply to him.

In a recent video on the YouTube channel of ‘Fight Hub TV’, ‘The Gypsy King’ went on to brag about how he was the “daddy” around there. After addressing his fierce rival, Oleksandr Usyk, Fury turned over to Ngannou and accepted his offer to meet him inside the boxing ring.

The Gyspy King stated, “Francis Ngannou, I am your daddy. I am the daddy, me, I am the baddest man on the planet. And I’ll give you the best item you’ve ever had, you big dosser”. However, ‘ESPN Ringside’ also put up a continuation of the same video where Fury said, “Sign the contract. You big stiff idiot.”

It’s apparent that the ball is now in Ngannou’s court. PFL has given him a free hand to participate in boxing matches outside his contractual obligations. It will be interesting to witness if Ngannou makes proper use of it. A large chunk of combat sports fans will probably be ecstatic to see these two heavyweights inside a boxing ring.
