UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones says Fight talks with WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury are still very much alive- about having one clash in the cage and one in the ring.
In recent times, Fury and Jones have gone at each other on social media multiple times. Even though the combat sports fandom is mixed on whether the crossover super fight would actually happen or not, UFC prez Dana White recently thumbed up the idea, saying that the fight would be made if both of them wants it.
“Jon Jones is the baddest dude on the planet. There is no debate, there is no denying it, you know what I mean. There is no debate, I don’t care what anybody says, everybody can try to spin it, a lot of this stuff is clickbait,” White recently told BroBible. “You know how I am. If Tyson Fury really wants to fight Jon Jones in the UFC, I will make it happen. Here’s my thing, right now to Tyson Fury, Tyson, if you’re serious, let me know. Tyson and I have a good relationship. I like Tyson Fury. If he’s serious…”
Let’s find out. We can talk all we want, Tyson can talk, Jon Jones can talk, I can talk, we can all talk. Let’s do it. If Tyson is serious, and he wants to do it, listen, I got Floyd Mayweather to fight (Conor McGregor), and we paid Floyd. We got Floyd the number he wanted. If Tyson Fury is serious, and he wants to fight Jon Jones in the UFC, let’s start talking,” he added.
Now, as “Bones” has reached Atlanta to support his teammate Maurice Greene at PFL 5, he revealed to Fight Oracle that the fight talks with Fury are in continuation, adding that they will lock horns twice- in boxing and MMA both.
“Just ran into the GOAT @JonnyBones in Atlanta. The talks between him and @Tyson_Fury are very much real. He showed me the text messages between them. 1 boxing fight. 1 MMA Fight. Jon wants a money fight & has no issues going into the lions den against Tyson in a boxing ring 1st,” read the tweet from Fight Oracle.
