Lineal heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury wants to give mixed martial arts (MMA) a go, so he has taken up the help of top-ranked UFC middleweight Darren Till.

Fury and Till are both represented by the same management group, MTK, and “The Gorilla” recently put his fellow countryman through a training session that went viral online, and attracted the attention of a couple of top UFC heavyweights.

Speaking to BT Sport, Till offered his thoughts on Fury’s MMA aspirations. Till explained how serious Fury took the session and detailed what it entailed. (H/T MMA Mania)

”I thought to myself, he’s gonna come and learn a few techniques and that’s it,” Till said. “He said to me when we were starting, ‘I’ve come to train hard.’ I was like ‘Okay then.’ He’s come to train, he’s gonna get some training. You’ve seen the video. So I said ‘Tyson, I’m gonna teach you what I think you need to know about MMA. You’re considering this.

“I’ll teach you what I think you need.’ So we started off with some warmups Coach Mike the wrestler always teaches us. I got him involved in some sprawls and shadowboxing and we went into sparring pads. We done a hard hour, I swear, a hard hour.

“And after he was chatting with me about the mental side of things, what he went through and stuff like that. I swear, that guy’s got a rock solid mentality. Unbelievable mentality. I thought mine was strong. The stuff that came out of his mouth was next level.”

As for whether or not Fury will actually compete in MMA, Till gives it a 70 percent chance of happening.

”I think it’s about 70/30. 70 yes, 30 no,” Till said. “You gotta remember boxing to MMA is very different as well. He’s making a lot of money, he’s a top three heavyweight. I’d love to see it for the entertainment factor.

“It’s all about the entertainment and whoever he gets – maybe Stipe wants to fight him and probably thinks he can box him. I don’t think so. But I hope so. But maybe I’d be in on a little percentage of that as Coach Till. We’re the same management, we’re both MTK so no matter what I’m just supporting him, I’m supporting my team.”

Do you think Fury will ultimately fight in MMA down the line?

Lineal boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was not impressed by Deontay Wilder’s performance against Luis Ortiz.

Wilder retained his WBC heavyweight title following a seventh-round knockout of Ortiz in their rematch on Saturday night. However, the American was struggling for most of the fight as Ortiz was outboxing him throughout until the decisive punch.

It led many to once again wonder how Fury was able to get up from the shots he took from Wilder when they first met in December last year. Luckily, that seems to be the next fight for both fighters as Wilder is targeting a rematch with Fury in February.

However, “The Gypsy King” remains confident of getting the victory, especially based on his and Ortiz’s showing against Wilder:

“Wilder has nothing more than a punchers chance vs me, I’m gonna school even more than the first fight. ???????? #BUMCITY” Fury wrote on Sunday.

Similar to Ortiz, Fury outboxed Wilder for virtually 12 rounds in their WBC title fight last year. Wilder did land two knockdowns during the fight, but even then, many expected the Briton to come away with the win.

In the end, the bout was controversially scored a split decision draw. Hopefully, we get a more decisive result in 2020.

How do you think Wilder vs. Fury 2 goes?

WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has a good idea of what his next two fights will be.

Wilder retained his title following a seventh-round knockout of Luis Ortiz in their rematch last night. It was all the more impressive considering the American was getting outclassed for majority of the fight until he landed a straight right than floored Ortiz with seconds remaining in the round.

He now has his sights set on another rematch with Tyson Fury. The unbeaten heavyweights fought in December last year in what was eventually ruled a controversial split decision draw. However, it now looks like everything is leading to a sequel in February.

After that, Wilder wants to unify the belts with the winner of Andy Ruiz vs. Anthony Joshua:

“Well my next (opponent), of course, we have Tyson Fury in a rematch next,” Wilder said after the fight (via BJ Penn). “When it’s settled, it’s set to be done in February. So we’ll see how that goes.

“And then after that, I’m looking for a unification bout. I want one champion, one face, one name, and he goes by the name of Deontay Wilder. The heavyweight division is too small to have so many belts lingering around. There should be just one champion. It’s too confusing for the fans, you know? And I think I’m the perfect man for that job.”

Wilder had been campaigning for a title unification fight for a while when Joshua was the unified champion. Maybe we could finally see it happen in 2020?

What did you think of Wilder’s performance last night? Do you think he’ll get through Fury?

There has been a lot of talk about boxing lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury potentially transitioning into mixed martial arts (MMA).

“The Gypsy King” has been adamant about wanting to fight in the UFC after he gets all the boxing fights he wants out of the way. He even did a training session with top-ranked middleweight contender Darren Till, and plans on training with Conor McGregor soon as well.

Recently, UFC Hall Of Famer Michael Bisping took to his podcast, “Believe You Me,” to offer his take. Bisping actually believes Fury could be successful in MMA with the right matchups. (H/T BJPenn.com)

“Absolutely he could,” Bisping said. “I truly believe that if you matched him up correctly. Cause there is some good wrestlers like Stipe, for one. He outwrestled Ngannou, Ngannou’s been doing MMA longer than Fury so you’d think he’d outwrestle Fury as well.

“That just goes without saying, really. And they’re not gonna give Tyson Fury a title fight right off the bat anyway. But then you’ve got other guys. I mean Cormier’s gonna be done soon.”

Bisping explained he thinks the UFC would slowly ease Fury into the heavyweight elite, giving him favorable matchups early on in a potential run.

“If Tyson Fury was to come over, I’m not gonna say the word ‘groom,’ but they would stagger his matchups and give him logical matchups,” Bisping said. “Listen, look at the UFC. People call it the entertainment era and Fury ties into that perfectly. The guy can talk, he can talk sh*t for days. He’s very, very funny.

“He can put people down, he sings on the microphone. Not only is he the heavyweight champion of the world but he’s massively charismatic. He’s an absolute huge star and if he can come over win a couple of fights and then get a title fight, for the UFC that’s big business. That’d be a massive, massive pay-per-view.”

What do you make of Bisping’s comments on a potential MMA career for Fury?
