TYSON FURY has challenged Jon Jones to a boxing match after the UFC legend claimed talk of them fighting had “struck a nerve” with the Gypsy King.
The 34-year-old WBC heavyweight champion initially took to his Instagram story to respond to a prediction made by controversial podcast host Joe Rogan.
Tyson Fury has challenged Jon Jones to a boxing fight
Joe Rogan said Jon Jones, above, would be the only one to walk out a room if they were locked in
He had stated that MMA star Jones would be the one to walk out of a room if he and Fury were locked in one together.
But the boxing icon soon hit back at those comments in X-rated fashion on social media and said: “I’m the baddest man on the planet.
“I heard Joe Rogan say something about me, and I’ve been off all the social medias and didn’t reply to that little p****. Little f****** midget, bald-headed midget.
“I heard him say that Jon Jones could f*** me up if we were in the room together. I don’t think so.
“Not a man born from a mother could f*** me up, in a room, on our own. Whatever happens in that room, I’d be walking out. Not a f****** problem.”
That led to UFC heavyweight champ Jones, 35, then tweeting: “Hey Tyson, it seems 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, give Dana a call. I’ll help you out.”
Now Fury has taken to social media again to post a video of himself saying: “I see Jon Jones has piped up, Jon you’re talking about me in the cage. I’m not a cage fighter mate I’m a boxer, the best boxer actually.
“If you want to come into a boxing ring and fight me, be my guest and let me know. You don’t have to call anybody else, no dramas, nobody.
“You call me because it’s a boxing fight and I’m the boss in this gym, me. You’re a great fighter Jon, but you’re no boxer that’s for sure. All the best and good luck.”
Jones, who became UFC’s heavyweight champion in March after going up a weight division, has won 27 of his 28 UFC bouts, with his one loss coming via disqualification against Matt Hamill after 12-to-6 illegal elbows.
Meanwhile, Fury has 33 wins and one draw from his 34 fights, including 24 KO wins.
He is currently preparing for his next bout after failed talks with both Oleksandr Usyk and Andy Ruiz Jr already this year, something he blames on the rest of the division.
That means he has only fought once in the past 12 months, when he stopped old foe Derek Chisora in the tenth round at Tottenham Stadium in a one-sided fight in December, and has resulted in him dropping out of the top 50 highest-paid sports on the planet.
