Dana White: I’ll Make Tyson Fury vs. Jon Jones UFC Fight Happen If Boxer Is Willing

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones have engaged in an online war of words in recent weeks. While a fight between the…

Dana White open to Jon Jones, Tyson Fury crossover fight in the UFC: ‘I will make it happen’

UFC president, Dana White has claimed he will make a potential cross over fight between current promotional heavyweight champion, Jon Jones, and undisputed WBC heavyweight titleholder, Tyson Fury a reality – if the Morecambe native is “serious’ about a potential fight. Jones, the current undisputed heavyweight champion under the banner of the UFC, snapped a […]

Jones, the current undisputed heavyweight champion under the banner of the UFC, snapped a three-year-plus hiatus from active mixed martial arts competition back in March of this year against former interim champion, Ciryl Gane.

Clinching the vacant heavyweight crown, Jones managed to submit the Frenchman with a one-sided opening round guillotine choke.

As for Fury, the undisputed WBC heavyweight champion was the subject of a somewhat of a surprising call out from Jones, before appearing to play down the prospect of sharing the Octagon with the Endicott look-see-do fighter.

Dana White offers to book Jon Jones, Tyson Fury fight under UFC banner

However, according to the above-mentioned UFC leader, White, if Fury ever wants to test his skills under the banner of the promotion – particularly in the fight with Jones, he would “make it happen”.

“Jon Jones is the baddest dude on the planet,” Dana White told BroBible during a recent interview. “There’s no debate, there’s no denying it. There’s no debate. I don’t care what anybody says, everybody can try to spin it, a lot of this stuff is clickbait, and you know how I am.”

“If Tyson Fury really wants to fight Jon Jones in the UFC, I will make it happen,” Dana White explained. “Here’s my thing right now to Tyson Fury, ‘Tyson, if you’re serious, let me know.’ Tyson and I have a good relationship. I like Tyson Fury.”

Yet to be booked for his sophomore outing at the heavyweight limit, Jones is expected, however, to headline UFC 295 in November at Madison Square Garden – taking on former undisputed division champion, Stipe Miocic in his first attempted title defense at the heavyweight limit.

Taylor, previously unblemished as a professional, took on Chantelle Cameron at light welterweight, aiming to secure titles in the division she last fought in 2019. Ultimately though, the Brit Cameron secured two of the judge’s scorecards, whilst one scored it a draw between the pair.

Conor McGregor is well-known to be one of Katie Taylor’s biggest supporters, and although trying to maintain a positive demeanor, you could see in his eyes that he hurt for his friend and compatriot Taylor, who he often cites as an inspiration of his.

Such a big supporter fact, that the former two-weight champion of the world sponsored the event through his whiskey brand Proper 12, and met with Taylor’s promoter, and head honcho of Matchroom Boxing, Eddie Hearn, to make sure his countrywoman was ensured to compete for a Dublin crowd at least once in her illustrious career.

Watch: Conor McGregor’s reaction to Taylor’s loss

Conor McGregor is one of the more animated fight watchers on the planet. Often spotted shadowboxing or appearing to have an invisible, bucking animal beneath him while he enjoys taking in the evening combat, McGregor appeared much nervier this time out in a video posted on TheMacLife YouTube channel.

Following the disappointing verdict for the Irishman, he was full of nothing but encouragement for Taylor, stating:

“Another amazing fight for you,” McGregor could be heard saying to Taylor. “Another day, another day for Katie Tay. Love you to bits, I love you.”

Next up for “Notorious” looks to be a blockbuster affair with Michael Chandler, although exactly when appears up in the air, following the filming of the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter.

Do you think Katie Taylor wins the rematch?
