Tyson Fury has been mocked for coming up with the "dumbest idea in history" after calling out Francis Ngannou for a boxing match inside a cage with MMA gloves.
The boxing world champion has long been keen to take on the UFC heavyweight title holder, even when Stipe Miocic held the belt. And he is even willing to compromise a bit on the gloves and location of such a bout, even though he doesn't want to do a full MMA contest or even allow kicks.
However, UFC legend Chael Sonnen believes the idea is idiotic, particularly with the caveat that Fury has added of the fight having a special guest referee, a la WWE. The Brit wants legendary heavyweight champion Mike Tyson to referee the contest, even though he is not qualified for such a position.
