Rogan may have pushed the two fighters towards an in-ring showdown.

In the boxing ring, there are few fighters better than Tyson "The Gypsy King" Fury. The 34-year-old currently holds multiple heavyweight belts and a 33-0-1 career record. However, Fury caught a stray on a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience while Rogan was discussing the recent beef between Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou.

“You want to talk about who’s the baddest man on the planet?" Rogan asked. "If Jon Jones and Tyson Fury are locked into a room, I’m pushing all of my chips on black. [Fury] doesn't have a fucking chance in hell of making it out of that room." Fury previously appeared on Rogan's show in 2018.

Fury Responds, Jones Weighs In

However, Fury didn't take kindly to Rogan's shot, issuing a profanity-laden response soon after. "I heard Joe Rogan say something about me," Fury fumed, "and I’ve been off all the social media and didn’t reply to that little pussy, little fucking midget, bald-headed midget. I heard him say that Jon Jones could fuck me up if we were in the room together. I don’t think so. Not a man born from a mother could fuck me up, in a room, on our own. Whatever happens in that room, I’d be walking out. Not a fucking problem.” Furthermore, Fury is currently trying to set up a fight for the undisputed heavyweight title with Oleksandr Usyk. This came about after Usyk responded to Fury's claims that there was no one willing to fight him.

However, Fury's response soon caught the attention of Jon Jones himself. "Hey Tyson, it seems like Joe may have struck a nerve," Jones said on Twitter. "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." Furthermore, Jones issued a challenge to Fury in a follow-up tweet. "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." Who do you think would win in a fight between Fury and Jones? Let us know in the comments.
