Everyone wants a piece of Tyson Fury now that “The Gypsy King” has expressed interest in coming into the mixed martial arts (MMA) world.

However, it appears that UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou wants to box the lineal heavyweight champion inside the ring. If this does happen, Ngannou has said legendary heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has agreed to train him for the potential fight.

The pair were recently working together, and Ngannou confirmed the agreement via Twitter.

“Spoke with Mike Tyson and he agreed to train me for when I fight @Tyson_Fury in the Ring. Don’t be scared Fury. You called me out and now you’ll have to live with it.”

This prompted a response from Fury, who said he’ll deal with all the MMA heavyweights who want a piece of him once he’s done with all the boxing fights he needs to get through.

“Ill deal with you and all the other Mma heavyweights when I’m done with my boxing fights, It won’t be long to wait! Then I’ll show u how we roll.”

As for the possibility of seeing Fury inside the UFC’s Octagon, UFC president Dana White recently said he doesn’t understand why Fury would ever want to attempt something like that.

“Tyson Fury had a tough time in his last fight in a boxing match. Coming over to MMA is a whole ‘nother story,” White told TMZ recently. “… Listen, anything’s possible. If Tyson Fury wants to fight in MMA, I’ve got a ton of guys that would love to fight him.

“I just don’t know why. I can’t wrap my head around why. …He’s an incredible fighter. Promoted the right way, [he] could be a part of three or four of the biggest fights in heavyweight [boxing] history. Why come over here and get smashed when you could stay there? Tyson Fury, your time is now. You’re the man in boxing. You’re one of the top four guys in the world in boxing. Why even think of coming over here?”

What do you think about a potential fight between Fury and Ngannou?

Boxing lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has been teasing a potential jump to mixed martial arts (MMA) quite heavily as of late.

While the likes of UFC president Dana White don’t understand the aspiration, others such as Greg Hardy are trying to get their name in the hat to welcome “The Gypsy King” to the world of MMA.

Hardy, who co-headlines UFC Moscow against Alexander Volkov this weekend, took to Instagram to suggest he’d fight Fury in MMA or boxing. He even teased he’ll be inside the boxing ring “very soon.”

“The good news is @gypsyking101 I am gonna come to the 10oz world very soon my friend. So with all do respect (shout out Ricky Bobby) if you have the stones to take a whooping in the ring and octagon. The most Active heavyweight in the UFC will oblige. #imyourhuckleberry The Gypsy King Vs The King of War 2021″

Fury just wrapped up a brief run with the WWE, as he awaits Deontay Wilder to fight Luis Ortiz later this month. If Wilder is successful, he and Fury will have their highly-anticipated rematch in 2020. When Fury’s immediate boxing goals are fulfilled, it sounds like the Englishman wants to attempt to conquer the world of MMA after.

What do you think about Hardy calling out Fury?

UFC president Dana White did not rule out the possibility of Tyson Fury competing in mixed martial arts — however, he is questioning the boxer’s decision.

Fury recently made headlines when he teased a potential MMA debut. The boxing lineal heavyweight champion would later declare that he even wanted potential fights with Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou.

While it might sound unrealistic, crazier things have happened in combat sports. That is why White believes it is certainly possible. But given how Fury could make even more money fighting in a talent-rich heavyweight division in boxing, the UFC head honcho pondered why the Briton would even want to enter the Octagon:

“Tyson Fury had a tough time in his last fight in a boxing match. Coming over to MMA is a whole ‘nother story,” White told TMZ recently. “… Listen, anything’s possible. If Tyson Fury wants to fight in MMA, I’ve got a ton of guys that would love to fight him.

“I just don’t know why. I can’t wrap my head around why. …He’s an incredible fighter. Promoted the right way, [he] could be a part of three or four of the biggest fights in heavyweight [boxing] history. Why come over here and get smashed when you could stay there? Tyson Fury, your time is now. You’re the man in boxing. You’re one of the top four guys in the world in boxing. Why even think of coming over here?”

White certainly has a point.

Fury recently made his WWE debut and fortunately came out unscathed. He is now expected to face WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in a rematch in February. Maybe he’ll start focusing on an MMA debut afterward?

Do you agree with White?

“I spoke to Conor and we’re ready to rock and roll,” Fury said. “I also had a message from Frank Mir, former heavyweight champion of UFC, and he said he’d be interested in working with me as well. So, yeah, I reckon we can do something. Big time. Dana, call me!”

In regards to possible opponents for a UFC run, Fury isn’t scared of anybody. He’s willing to step into the Octagon with the division champion in Stipe Miocic, or a feared knockout artist such as Francis Ngannou.

“I’m trying to get that big fight going on with whoever,” Fury said. “Listen, I’m not afraid of any of them. Who’s the heavyweight champion of the world in UFC? Stipe Miocic is it? He just beat Daniel Cormier in the rematch, good body shots, bam, bam, got him out of there.

“I’d fight him in a heartbeat, no problem. Or Francis Ngannou. Any of the heavyweight champions they’ve got. I ain’t afraid of any of them. I’m the Gypsy King. Listen, I’m a boxer, but I am one bad ass mofo.”

UFC president Dana White was asked about Fury’s MMA aspirations over the weekend at UFC 244. White doesn’t seem too interested in having “The Gypsy King” step into the Octagon under the UFC’s banner. (H/T BJPenn.com)

“Tyson Fury has worked hard his whole life to become one of the top-four fighters in the world in boxing,” White said. “He’s making good money and everything is going great for him. Why would you even want to come over here and attempt this?

“I don’t think it ends well for him. I’m getting into boxing now. Five years ago I’d have said ‘yeah, Tyson Fury, come on over here and let’s do this.’ But it doesn’t make sense for him, for his career in any other way.”
