      Fury has even teased a rematch in the cage and called out UFC superstar Jones for a future bout.
      And he has the backing of his dad John, who told him to forget about boxing the MMA icon to instead go for an all out brawl.
      He told Seconds Out: “I know my son, he can get it the Hectogon [Octagon] with anybody.
      “If you let Tyson kick and punch you and do all of them things to you, which I think should be allowed in this fight [with Ngannou].

      “I’d say let Ngannou do his s*** and let Tyson do his s***, and have a free-for-all, let the best man walk out of it.
      “I think that you’ll see that with Jon Jones, I don’t want to see a boxing match.
      “I want to see both men in an all-in battle royale, and let the best man stand up at the end of it with his hands in the air and say that he is the hardest man and the baddest man on the planet.”
      “That’d be my plan [to fight Jon Jones]. I can’t speak for Tyson, I’m not his business advisor, I’m not his manager, I’m not his trainer, I’m just his father, but that is what I would want to see.”

      Ngannou, 37, walked out on the UFC and a potential super-fight with Jones, 36, to pursue a lucrative switch to boxing.
      And Fury, 35, gave up his undisputed title pursuit of Oleksandr Usyk, 36, to welcome the Cameroonian to the ring.
      The British heavyweight star further distanced himself from Usyk by calling to fight Jones after Ngannou.
      Fury told Queensbury Promotions: “Hopefully I get through Ngannou and then I either fight Ngannou in a cage or I fight Jon Jones in a boxing match.
      “I’d go in a cage with Ngannou for sure, I’d let him kick me, I’d let him do what he wants to me, a full MMA fight.
      “I’d knock him out and probably break his arm on the way too with an arm-bar, I’ll kick his leg and break it in two.”

      Fury, 35, returns on October 28 in Saudi Arabia against ex-UFC champ Francis Ngannou, 37, in what will be a massive crossover clash.
      It came after talks for the first ever four-belt heavyweight unification with Oleksandr Usyk, 36, broke down.
      Fury is yet to achieve undisputed title glory but it appears to matter little as he is convinced there is nothing left for him to strive for in the ring.
      He said: “I’ve completed the ring game, it’s done, it’s f***ed.

      “I’ve done everything there is to do, I’ve won every belt there is to win and I’ve been undefeated for fifteen years, a two-time undefeated champion.”
      Fury further distanced himself from Usyk by calling out UFC legend and heavyweight titlist Jon Jones, 36.
      He said: “Hopefully I get through Ngannou and then I either fight Ngannou in a cage or I fight Jon Jones in a boxing match.

      Tyson Fury says he will train at SEVEN STAR Saudi hotel with Michelin star restaurants ahead of Francis Ngannou fight

      by

      TYSON FURY says he will be training in an all-new SEVEN STAR hotel in Saudi Arabia before fighting Francis Ngannou. WBC world champion Fury welcomes ex-UFC star Francis Ngannou over to the boxing ring for a massive crossover clash.

      The two heavyweight superstars collide on October 28 in Riyadh in the latest mega-money bout prised over to the Middle East.
      And Fury is set to be treated like a king when he makes the 4,000 mile trip over from his Morecambe home.
      He told SunSport: “I think we’re training in a nice hotel out there.
      “They’ve given me my own seven-star, 100 bedroom hotel in Riyadh that’s not even open to the public yet.

      “It’s got 16 restaurants, Michelin star restaurants, gyms, everything. So we’re looking forward to that.” 
      Fury, 35, becomes the latest sporting superstar to take his career to the desert, following an influx of footballers signing crazy cash deals.
      Cristiano Ronaldo, 38, was the first swap top-flight European action for the Saudi Super League when he joined Al-Nassr from Manchester United.
      Neymar, 31, also walked out on PSG for Al-Hilal, meaning both could be in the house to watch Fury’s fight.

      But the Gypsy King claimed the wages the footballing pair are on is nothing compared to what he has coming his way.
      He said: “They’re paying big money, everything they get involved in is big.
      “And I believe I’ve just done the biggest boxing deal ever to be done in the history of boxing with them.
      “I’m not at liability to talk about numbers but let’s just say the bag is big, mighty f***ing big. But will it change me? Not really.
      “Still got the Crocs and the packed lunches from Asda, not too shabby mush!”
      Asked if it was just a one-fight deal, Fury replied: “Can’t say but it’s the biggest boxing deal ever done in history.
      “You know like all these big football deals, Ronaldo and Neymar and whoever else they’re trying to deal with, blows all that out of the water. Big, big, big.”

      Ronaldo is believed to be on a £3.3m-per-WEEK contract which equates to £173MILLION yearly while Neymar is on wages of around £2.5m-a-week.
      It saw Ronaldo top Forbes’ list of highest-paid athletes in 2023, with boxer Canelo Alvarez, 33, fifth on the list with £88.7m banked.
      Fury boxed just twice last year, stopping Dillian Whyte, 35, and Derek Chisora, 39, and it saw him slip outside Forbes’ top 50 list.
      But in 2022, he was placed in 15th after making £50m.
      Fury has won every belt there is in boxing and insisted unifying all four against rival Oleksandr Usyk, 36, is of no interest to him.
      Instead, he wants to top Forbes’ sports rich list like UFC legend Conor McGregor did in 2021 and boasted he is a year or two away from it.
      Fury said: “I wanna top the Forbes list.
      “And I’ll probably do that this year, or next year. Sports’ No1 earner of all sports, that’s me. That’s the only thing I want to do.

      Fury’s decision to face the ex-UFC champ on October 28 for mega-money in Saudi Arabia rather than defend his title has led to some fierce criticism from the boxing world.
      Froch and fellow British icon Tony Bellew have been amongst the most scathing with their criticism.
      And that led Fury to respond with: “See these motherf***ing balls? Lick them b***h.
      “The fact that Bellew and Froch didn’t make any money out of the game is obviously hurtful to them.
      READ MORE BOXING
      “I’ve just signed the biggest deal in boxing history, which I can’t divulge to you right now.
      “They’re like all these media suckers, mention Tyson Fury’s name to try and get some clickbait.
      “But without me, there ain’t no f***ing boxing. I run the game.”
      However, Froch has now upped the ante and hit back at Fury on his Froch On Fighting YouTube channel.

      “Deep down I think you know you’re hurting the sport.
