PFL champion Brendan Loughnane backs Tyson Fury amid Jon Jones fight debate

PFL featherweight champion Brendan Loughnane has insisted that fans should think twice before backing Jon Jones to beat Tyson Fury in an unsanctioned street fight.

The debate between MMA and boxing fans over a potential bout between heavyweight champions Jones and Fury began when UFC commentator Joe Rogan joked that he would put all of his money on the cage legend winning between the pair. But Loughnane, who is friends with fellow Manchester native Fury and a world champion in the PFL, is not so sure.

Fury has rubbished the idea entirely and claimed that he would only face Jones in a boxing ring under traditional rules, while UFC president Dana White has offered him the fight in his octagon. And Loughnane has warned fans against betting on a Fury opponent after his legendary boxing career.
