JON JONES is open to a dust-up with Tyson Fury – and he’s even willing to enter the boxing world to get his hands on The Gypsy King.

The Gypsy King refuses to fight Bones in mixed martial arts
Jones is hopeful UFC president Dana White can make the fight
UFC president Dana White entertained the crossover bout last month, much to the surprise of many.
And pound-for-pound king Jones admits he’d jump at the opportunity to trade leather with the Brit bruiser.
During a red carpet event in Las Vegas last weekend, he said: “I would love it if Dana could make that fight happen.
“That’s one thing about the UFC, we always give the fans what they want to see.”
Jones, 35, has the utmost respect for the undefeated Fury – so much he’d want to test himself against the Wythenshawe warrior in the squared circle.
He continued: “Tyson Fury is just such a magnificent opponent, and it would be awesome to make that fight happen.
“I’m up for it, and I’d even be willing to box him. Let’s see what happens.”
The ring is seemingly the only place the pair will ever throw down as Fury has no interest in trying his hand at mixed martial arts – despite numerous teases down the years.

He wrote in an Instagram story: “If you guys want to fight me it’s got to be under boxing rules.
“I don’t roll round the floor, I stand up and punch.”
Fury, 34, is currently, without an opponent following the collapse of his historic undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk earlier this year.
But the pair could throw down in a multi-million December dust-up in Saudi Arabia.
UFC Hall of Famer Jones, meanwhile, hasn’t set foot inside the octagon since returning from a three-year layoff against Ciryl Gane in March.
Bones claimed the vacant heavyweight title with ease, submitting the Frenchman in just under two minutes to become a two-division champion.
The UFC brass are hoping to have Jones return to action in November at Madison Square Garden, the venue for their penultimate pay-per-view event of the year – UFC 295.
