Tyson Fury says he could beat Jon Jones in a fight

Throughout their esteemed careers, Jon Jones and Tyson Fury have written their names into the history books, with each man winning multiple world title fights.

While they are both remarkably athletic, it is their fighting IQs that set them apart from the rest, with the Icons using their brains to defeat the opponents in front of them.

Unsurprisingly, having achieved so much in the boxing ring, 'The Gyspy King' isn't particularly fond of the suggestion that anyone could beat him in a street fight.

Therefore, when he heard a beloved UFC commentator suggest that this might be the case, he went crazy.

In a video uploaded to his Instagram page, Fury said: “I heard Joe Rogan say something about me the other day. I had been off social media and had not commented on the little bald head. I heard him say that Jon Jones could get me in trouble if we were in a ring together. No man born of his mother could ruin me. No matter what happens in that room, I would walk away.”

Of course, it's no surprise that 'Bones' responded. He uploaded his own video in which he said in a rather sarcastic tone: “Tyson Fury claims he can get me in trouble. I better back off,” before giggling hugely.
