Dana White Offers Tyson Fury a Challenge Fight Against Jon Jones in UFC
In a surprise move, UFC President Dana White has issued a bold challenge to heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury to face off against MMA superstar Jon Jones in the octagon. Speaking at a post-event press conference following UFC Fight Night, White declared that he would be willing to make the fight happen, stating that if Fury truly wants to find out who the “baddest man on the planet” is, he should accept the challenge.
White at the presser stated, “I’m telling Tyson Fury, whom I respect very much, if you really want to find out who the baddest man on the planet is, I will make that fight. I will make Tyson Fury vs Jon Jones fight in the octagon. And we figured out how to pay Floyd, we’ll figure out how to pay you Tyson. So the offer is out there. If you want to do it in the UFC, I know he was messing around with MMA for a little while there. Let’s do it, let’s answer the question.”
However, Fury has previously stated that he has no interest in fighting in the octagon, preferring to stick to the boxing ring. “I don’t roll round on the floor, I stand up and punch,” Tyson said on his Instagram Stories. Despite this, the prospect of such a high-profile matchup has generated a lot of excitement among fans, and Fury may be persuaded to change his mind by the potential payday and the opportunity to prove himself as the “baddest man on the planet.”
Jones, for his part, has also expressed interest in the fight, tweeting in response to Fury’s comments: “I’ll admit there’s no one touching you in that ring right now, but let’s not let that confuse you with what would happen if you stepped foot in my cage.”
Only time will tell if Fury accepts White’s challenge and steps into the octagon to face off against Jones. But if he does, it could be one of the biggest fights in combat sports history, as two of the most dominant figures in their respective fields go head-to-head to determine who truly is the “baddest man on the planet.”
