With the banter intensifying, fans eagerly await any further developments in this potential clash between the two combat sports icons.
“I’m not a cage fighter, mate. I’m a boxer. So if you want to come into a boxing ring to fight me, be my guest.”
In a typical fashion, Jon took to Twitter once again to humorously mock Tyson Fury for his altered perspective on the outcome of a potential fight outside the realm of boxing.
Jones pointed out that ‘The Gypsy King’ conveniently shifted his stance after facing criticism for claiming he could defeat him. Jon playfully highlighted the timing of Fury’s change of heart.

Alluding to the notion that it may have been a response to the negative backlash he received for his initial statement. The banter between the two fighters continues to entertain fans and fuel speculation about a potential showdown in the future.
“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,” Tweeted Jon.

While the possibility of the two fighters engaging in further social media banter remains uncertain, it appears highly unlikely that an actual fight will materialize between them.
Jon didn’t take kindly to Fury’s criticism of Joe Rogan’s statement regarding a hypothetical fight between them. Expressing his dissatisfaction, ‘Bones’ took to Twitter and directly addressed Fury, reinforcing Rogan’s assertion.
In a bold move, Jones extended a challenge to Fury, proposing a showdown in the octagon to definitively settle the debate about who the superior fighter truly is.
“Hey Tyson, it seem like Joe may have struck a nerve. I’ll admit there’s no one touching you in that ring right now, but let’s not let that confuse you with what would happen if you stepped foot in my cage. If you ever want to put some of those questions you got going on to rest, give Dana a call. I’ll help you out,” said the reigning heavyweight champ.
When a fan inquired about the potential duration of the fight, Jon wasted no time in responding. With confidence and conviction, he asserted that the bout would come to an end swiftly, specifically mentioning that it would conclude within the first round.
