Boxing news: Tyson Fury claims he’s willing to fight UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic with Conor McGregor’s help, tells Dana White ‘Call me’

Tyson Fury has declared that he would be open to an MMA crossover fight against UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic.

Ahead of his WWE debut, the ‘Gypsy King’ revealed his desire to potentially switch sports last weekend and even stated that he’d spoken to former two-division UFC king Conor McGregor about training with him.

When asked if his comments were serious, Fury told : “Very serious, I spoke to Conor McGregor and we’re ready to rock and roll.

“I also had a message today from Frank Mir, former heavyweight champion of the 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 [White], call me.”

Elaborating on who he could take on in the Octagon, Fury continued: “I’m not afraid of any of them.

“Who’s the heavyweight champion of the world in the UFC? The American-Croatian, Stipe Miocic.

“I’ll fight him in a heartbeat, no problem, or Francis Ngannou. Any of the heavyweights they’ve got, I’m not afraid of any of them. I’m the ‘Gypsy King’.

“I’m a boxer, but I’m one badass motherf***er.”
