WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury wants to compete against Jon Jones if it can happen inside a boxing ring. In the ongoing feud, Jones challenged Fury to a fight after the WBC champion blasted Joe Rogan on social media. However, Fury refused the challenge but welcomed Jones into the boxing ring.

Tyson Fury does not have a background in other martial arts. He has no experience in the wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu departments. However, the heavyweight boxer is not afraid of the UFC heavyweight champion. Fury will compete against Jones as long as it happens in a ring. Fury has maintained multiple times that he is not a cage fighter since feuding with Jones.

Daniel Cormier tried to give his fair opinion despite having a heated rivalry with Jones. He said, “But if, by chance, they ever go into a full-on fight, Fury has as much of a chance as the guy walking into a convenience store on the end of your block to beat Jon Jones in a free fight. It’s not going to happen.”

Cormier claimed to be fair with his facts. Cormier praised Tyson for being the best heavyweight boxer in the world. But he also said that he would have the slightest chance when competing against elite MMA fighters.
