No chance of Tyson Fury entering a UFC cage, according to his conversation with Israel Adesanya

Much has been made of the back-and-forth between Tyson Fury and Jon Jones. The two have traded barbs recently. That being said, Fury has maintained his stance that he would welcome any MMA fighter to the ring.

According to a new video that has surfaced online, Fury's mind has not changed. In the video, Fury can be seen with UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, as the pair met backstage at the Joseph Parker vs Faiga Opelu boxing event.

In the video, Fury playfully throws a knee at Adesanya in jest. Adesanya chuckles and tells Fury that he has seen some videos of him training MMA, and that he has a good chance into transitioning to the sport.

Given Adesanya's transition from kickboxing to MMA, this could have goaded Fury into escalating the feud with Jones. Fury, however, refrained and outrighter stated:

"I ain't going in no cage. F**k you. No, listen, I'm a boxer. Queensbury rules brother."

The supposed feud between Jon Jones and Tyson Fury can be traced back to certain comments made by UFC commentator Joe Rogan on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE).

Speaking on the podcast, Rogan said:

"No one thinks Tyson Fury can beat Jon Jones in a fight. No one thinks that. Tyson doesn't think that. You know what happens if Tyson Fury and Jon Jones are locked in a room? I'm pushing all my chips to black. Tyson Fury is an amazing boxer but he has no chance of making it out of the room."

Fury responded to Rogan in an expletive-filled rant, stating that he was the "baddest man on the planet."

Since then, Jon Jones has also responded. On Instagram, Jones shared a clip in which he said:

"Oh boy. Tyson Fury out there claiming he gonna beat me up. I better back off."

A fight between the pair is unlikely to materialize. However, UFC Boss Dana White has told Fury that if he wants to fight Jones in the UFC octagon, he is willing to make it happen.
