Jon Jones reacted to Tyson Fury’s challenge to him

Reigning UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones did not ignore Tyson Fury’s announcement that he was going to challenge the American after his boxing match with Francis Ngannou, not ruling out a mixed martial arts bout.

“When did Tyson Fury learn to kick?”, Jones wrote on social media, commenting on the British boxer’s statement.

Shortly before the bout between “The Gypsy King” and “The Predator” was officially announced, Fury and Jones managed to have an online feud, not sharing the title of “most dangerous man on the planet.” UFC President Dana White promised the world boxing champion a title fight if he agreed to step into the octagon, but the Briton made it clear that he was ready to compete with the American only in the ring.

As a reminder, Jon Jones will make his title defense against former division champion Stipe Miocic on November 11 at UFC 295 in New York City, while a ten-round professional boxing bout between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou will take place on October 28 in Riyadh.
