Dana White has doubled down on his proposal for a heavyweight super-fight between UFC champion Jon Jones and Tyson Fury.
The UFC president recently admitted he was open to making a bout between ‘Bones’ and Fury as the WBC champion searches for his next opponent. Fury has his eyes set on a fight in September but has seen negotiations for an undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk fall through, leading his team to restart talks with Anthony Joshua’s team.
Fury was previously open to facing former UFC champion Francis Ngannou in the ring and fuelled speculation over a potential bout with Jones by responding to the idea on social media. White pointed to the fact that he orchestrated the crossover fight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather and has welcomed Fury to test himself in the octagon.

“The offer is out there, if you want to do it in the UFC — and I know he was messing around
