WBC World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Tyson’s Fury said he was never in favor of staging his fight with the UFC heavyweight champion John Jones according to the rules of MMA, which are actively discussed in the media and representatives of martial arts.
– To be honest, all this talk about Jon Jones and I fighting in a cage is absolutely ridiculous. Why should I even dream of getting in the cage and wrestling and all that? This is not mine.
It was actually UFC commentator Joe Rogan who started it all. Like a thunderclap, there was no way me or John would fight at all. John is a great guy, possibly the best fighter in MMA. Rogan said: “Oh, if Tyson Fury walks into a room with Jon Jones, he’ll be absolutely shattered.” He wasn’t talking about an MMA fight or a boxing match, he was talking about Fury not leaving the room. Then John said something, I said something.
There was never any question of me stepping into the cage with Jon Jones. Never. The thing was, I suggested to John, “If you want to get in the boxing ring and make some real money, then come on and fight me.” But the chances of me getting into MMA fighting are zero, — quotes Fury MMA Fighting.
Earlier this month, Fury said live on social media that the UFC had already sent him an official offer to fight Jones.
