The 34-year-old boxer, who is on a trip to Thailand, recently spent some time at the Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA Gym. After a few sessions of sparring, he had a Q&A with head coach George Hickman.
In that conversation, he said, “To be honest with you, all this talk of a me and Jon Jones fighting in a cage is absolutely ridiculous.”
He stated, “It was actually Joe Rogan, little sh*tbag, who [started this]. Just out of the blue. There was no talk of me or Jon [Jones] even fighting.”
“Jon’s a great guy, probably the GOAT of MMA. [Joe Rogan] said, ‘Oh if Tyson Fury goes in a room with Jon Jones he’s going to get absolutely smashed to bits’,” ‘The Gypsy King’ added later.
“All of these boxing guys want to keep talking about this and keep it in the ring. I’m telling Tyson Fury, who 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 Jon Jones vs. Tyson Fury in the Octagon,” White commented.
What do you think of these statements by boxing champion Tyson Fury?
