Tyson Fury has received a lot of criticism from fight fans on social media for ducking Jon Jones’ callout for a fight inside the octagon. The Gypsy King downplayed Jon’s challenge by saying that he is not interested in an MMA fight and will only entertain callouts for a boxing bout.
A few days ago, Fury met Israel Adesanya and the two fighters were having a fun-loving banter. During this conversation, The Gypsy King reiterated that he wants nothing to do with Mixed Martial Arts and confirmed that he will never step inside the octagon.

How did the online spat between Fury and Jon Jones start?
Earlier this month, Tyson Fury came back from his vacation and posted a video on social media. In this clip, The Gypsy King responded to Joe Rogan’s comments about him and even went on to claim that “Not a man born from a mother can f**k me up.”

Thereafter Jon Jones replied to Fury’s tweet and called him out for a fight inside the octagon. This led to a back-and-forth between the two fighters as The Gypsy King rejected Jon’s idea and challenged him to a boxing bout. Their argument didn’t stop here as Jon posted a video on his Instagram story and laughed at Fury for backtracking from his comments.
Yesterday, Tyson says, “no man born from a mother can beat me”, today he says “Jon can never beat me in a boxing ring”. Yeah I’m glad we got that clarified. You just switched your beat up faster than Travis Barker, impressive.
