UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones has spoken out about a potential fight against British WBC champion Tyson Fury.
Recall, earlier Jones and Fury discussed their possible fight on social media after UFC commentator Joe Rogan said the Brit wouldn't stand a chance in a street fight against John. Dana White also participated in the discussion and expressed his willingness to have the fight.
I would love it if Dana could make that fight happen. That’s one thing about the UFC, we always give the fans what they want to see. Tyson Fury is just such a magnificent opponent, and it would be awesome to make that fight happen. I’m up for it, and I’d even be willing to box him. Let’s see what happens.

Fury, 34, had his last fight against Derek Chisora in December, 2022. In that confrontation, Tyson won by TKO in the tenth round. He has 33 wins (24 KO's), one draw and no losses.
John, 35, had his previous fight against Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 in March of this year. That fight ended in Jon's favor with a first-round submission (choke). He has 27 wins and one loss under his belt.
