Joe Rogan’s comments on a recent episode of his podcast didn’t sit down well with Tyson Fury as the WBC heavyweight champion lashed out at the UFC commentator on social media. In the viral clip, Rogan insinuated that if The Gypsy King and Jon Jones are ever to be locked in a room for a fight then the British boxer won’t be able to come out unscathed.

Fury who was on vacation and training for his upcoming fight did not see this clip until a few days ago. And as soon as he came back on social media, probably the first thing he did was address Rogan’s comments and made a bold claim. “I’m the baddest man on the planet. I heard Joe Rogan say something about me and I have been off all social medias and didn’t reply to that little p***y.”
“Little f*****g midget, bald-headed midget. I heard that Jon Jones could f**k me up if we were in a room together. I don’t think so Not a man born from a mother can f**k me up. Whatever happens in that room, I’ll be walking out,” he added.
Thereafter the UFC heavyweight champion offered his response to Fury’s thoughts about a fight inside the boxing ring. Jones acknowledged Tyson Fury’s in-ring capabilities but warned the British boxer that it would be a different outcome inside the cage. Bones also called out Fury in this tweet.
Hey Tyson, it seem like Joe may have struck a nerve. 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. If you ever want to put some of those questions you got going on to rest,…

This verbal interaction between Fury and Jones became trending on Twitter as fans liked the idea of arguably two of the ‘greatest’ fighters colliding against each other. However, the difficult part is to book this fight as they fight in different combat worlds. It is true that McGregor and Mayweather have fought inside the ring in the past but that was a one-off thing as Dana White seems to have no interest.
Tyson Fury rejects the idea of Jon Jones calling him out to fight inside the cage
Tyson Fury is no stranger to taking the media by storm with his comments on Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk, and Andy Ruiz. Be it boxing or the MMA world, The Gypsy King wants all the smoke. Consequently, a few hours ago, the WBC heavyweight champion reacted to Jon Jones calling him out for an MMA fight.

“I see Jon Jones is piped up. Jon, you talk about me in a cage I’m not a cage fighter, I’m a boxer and the best boxer actually so if you want to come into a boxing ring and fight me be my guest. You don’t have to call anybody else. No Dana’s, nobody, you call me. Because it’s boxing fight and I’m the boss in this game. You’re a great fighter Jon but you’re definitely no boxer,” said the Gypsy King.
Following this comment, any possibility of a matchup between Fury and Jones seems unlikely. Because the UFC President wouldn’t allow Jones to get inside the ring. Besides, as of now, Jonny Bones has not responded to Tyson Fury’s latest callout.
