TYSON FURY has blamed Joe Rogan for the talk of a crossover clash with Jon Jones – branding the UFC commentator a “s**tbag”.

Gypsy King Fury has branded Rogan a ‘s**tbag’ for stirring up the fight
Gypsy King Fury, 34, flew into a fit of rage at the notion of Jones getting the better of him in a no holds barred fight, screaming down his iPhone and posting the footage to Instagram.
And he lays the ensuing talk of a cross-sport clash squarely at the feet of multi-millionaire podcast Rogan.
During a recent Q&A at Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA Gym in Phuket, Thailand, he said: “It was actually Joe Rogan, little s**tbag, who [started this].
“Just out of the blue, there was no talk of me or Jon even fighting. Jon’s a great guy, probably the GOAT of MMA.
“[Rogan] said, ‘Oh if Tyson Fury goes in a room with Jon Jones he’s going to get absolutely smashed to bits.’
“Like, if someone goes in the room with me and it’s no holds barred, you’re going to have to kill me to stop me.”
Rogan’s insistence that mixed martial arts’ pound-for-pound king would have his way with Fury still irks the Brit.
The WBC heavyweight champion said: “He didn’t say an MMA fight or a boxing fight, he said go in a room together and Tyson Fury’s not walking out.

“So I don’t know where it all started and Jon said something and I said something and we’ve being going back and forward.
“There was never talk of me saying I was going to go in a cage with Jon Jones and go in there and get my arm snapped off.
“No way. The thing was, I offered Jon, you want to walk in a boxing ring and make some real money then come and fight me.
“But zero chance of me going in an MMA game and rolling around and all that. Zero.”
UFC president Dana White has publicly entertained the prospect of Fury – who is without an opponent following the collapse of his historic undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk earlier this year – entering the octagon.
Tyson Fury has claimed to have been offered a ‘hybrid fight’ with Jon Jones
And Fury sensationally claimed last week to have received an offer from MMA’s top promotion to throw down with ‘Bones’.
During a Twitter Spaces, the Brit said: “I’ve been in talks with Francis Ngannou for a hybrid fight.
“There’s talks of me and Jon Jones doing a hybrid fight as we talk right now.
“I received an offer from the UFC yesterday. So, you never know what’s gonna happen.
“The future’s bright for sure. There’s a lot of options out there, and it seems at the moment I’m still going to get an actual boxing opponent.”
