Tyson Fury spells out terms for super-fight with UFC legend Jon Jones

Tyson Fury has explained that a fight with UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones would have to be in the boxing ring, not an octagon as Dana White suggested.

Fury was enraged last week when veteran commentator Joe Rogan said that he would back Jones if the pair were to meet in a street fight, claiming that the boxer couldn't overcome the difference in grappling skill. He first claimed that he would be able to come out on top in such a meeting, before insisting that any bout between the pair would have to be in boxing.

And Fury has once again declared that the only way he would fight Jones is if the pair were to have a boxing match, even ditching his previous offer to Francis Ngannou of hybrid rules. It comes after UFC boss White made an offer to the Brit to come over to the octagon to face his rival.
