As reported by Marca, Rogan stated Fury would not stand a chance against Jones if they were ever to fight in the Octagon. Speaking about a hypothetical fight between the two, Rogan said no one believed the Gypsy King could beat Bones in a fight, not even the UK star himself.

"Tyson Fury is an amazing boxer, but he doesn't have a chance in hell," he said.

Rogan admitted Fury's punching power could pose a threat, but said Jones' threat of a takedown would prove to be too much for Fury to handle.

The Gypsy King is the current WBC Heavyweight champion in boxing, while Jones is the UFC's Heavyweight champion.

Fury has expressed an interest in fighting an MMA star previously and has trained with some former and current UFC stars. He even challenged former UFC Heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou to a fight after the Cameroonian fighter left the organisation.

If Fury does make his way to the MMA world, it won't be the first time a boxer and an MMA fighter mixed it up. Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor contested a big-money fight, while Jake Paul had developed a reputation for kicking out former UFC fighters.

Recently, Max Holloway also expressed interest in taking on a boxer, saying he wanted to fight Gervonta Davis, The Mirror reported.

Calls made for Ngannou/Fury fight

Sports Brief also reported on what the future might hold for the Cameroonian former champ after he was released by the UFC earlier this month.

The Predator might be a free agent at the moment, but many do not expect it to last. Many want Ngannou to fight Tyson Fury in the boxing ring.

Fans and fighters believe the time is ripe for the Cameroonian to get into it with the Gypsy King, which would surely prove a blockbuster bout.
