Tyson Fury targets Jon Jones next after victory against Francis Ngannou

Following 'The Gypsy King's' repeated desire to square off against former UFC champion Francis Ngannou in the cage, Tyson Fury may now turn his attention to mastering mixed martial arts.

On October 28, the heavyweight champions of combat sports will square off in the boxing ring.

Fury, meanwhile, is already considering the prospect of competing in mixed martial arts against the Cameroonian.

For their press conference ahead of next month's "Battle of the Baddest," two of the world's most lethal men were in London on Thursday.

Just before the event, Fury made an appearance on the red carpet and hyped the possibility of an MMA match between the two after they finished their boxing obligations.

He said, “Obviously I’m getting paid a hell of a lot of money.

"And I get millions of people from MMA and boxing who are gonna watch it.

"Whether they like that I’m doing it or not, guess what they’re gonna do? Still watch it.”

In an interview with ESPN, Fury explained that he would like to take on Jones next.

He said, “I’d like to fight Ngannou in the cage, I think I can beat him for sure.

"He’s not a good wrestler, he’s known for striking and I’m a better striker than him.

"In little gloves, I’d knock him out in seconds… I’d fight Jon Jones also in the cage, if the money was right.”

Fury takes on Ngannou for the special WBC 'Riyadh Champion' belt which will be awarded to the winner.
