Tyson Fury backed to fight Logan and Jake Paul at same time in two-on-one bout

Tyson Fury has backed to beat Logan and Jake Paul at the same time in either a boxing or MMA fight.

Fury his heavyweight title last weekend by knocking out Dillian Whyte in front of 94,000 fans at Wembley. The undefeated Brit vowed to never fight again after the win, stating he would only consider a return for exhibition fights.

One of those potential exhibition fights could be against UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, who appeared in the ring with Fury after his win and teased a 'hybrid rules'. Two other potential opponents for Fury in an exhibition bout include both Paul brothers.

Logan and Jake have called out Fury before, but former UFC fighter Josh Thomson thinks the 6'9" heavyweight would easily be able to handle both of the brothers at the same time. Speaking on a recent episode of the Weighing In podcast, he proposed a two-on-one fight.

"Maybe the Jake Paul fight. I'd love to see that fight," Thomson said for who Fury should fight. "Maybe him and Logan Paul together, you know you see the Russian fights, [where they've got three guys]. Jake Paul, Logan Paul against Tyson Fury. I don't know, Logan's got wrestling. I think Tyson can beat them both together, in MMA also."

Logan, who previously admitted that Fury is his "favourite fighter", called out 'The Gypsy King' last year for an MMA fight. Jake has previously been scheduled to fight Fury's brother Tommy and was called out by the Brit after his win on Fury's undercard last weekend.

Thomson admitted that whilst he would like the idea of Fury fighting both of the Paul brothers, there are still fights to make for him in the heavyweight division. "There's fights to be made for him though. There's still Oleksandr Usyk, there's still Anthony Joshua. I don't know if [Joshua] gets out of the sixth or seventh round though," he said.

Fury has insisted he is retiring despite an undisputed fight with Usyk or Joshua being on the cards after their rematch in the summer. Fury was booked in an undisputed clash against Joshua last August, but the booking was cancelled after Fury was ordered to fight Deontay Wilder for the third time.

The avenues are seemingly endless for Fury as he also teased a WWE return after his recent win, stating You might see me at SummerSlam, I’ve got to speak to Vince [McMahon] and the boys, maybe make this happen. I know Drew McIntyre’s been saying a lot of things about me, I have to knock him out."
