During a recent appearance on ESPN's First Take, Fury unveiled his target for the next chapter in his fighting journey – none other than UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones.
«I want to get this fight won, and I'm looking to fight big, big stars» Fury asserted. «Next on the list is Jon Jones…Another UFC fighter!”
»I would fight Jon Jones also in a cage, if the money was right," Fury added while stating that the four-ounce gloves would make me even more devastating.
The speculation about a potential bout between Fury and Jones began following remarks made by Joe Rogan during a podcast episode. Rogan suggested that in a no-holds-barred confrontation, Jones would have the upper hand against Fury.
Fury's robust response to these comments escalated discussions about a potential showdown, even capturing the attention of UFC President Dana White. However, it remains uncertain whether a Fury vs. Jones bout would unfold in the boxing ring or inside the octagon.
