Tommy Fury wants Conor McGregor next: 'I'll 100 percent share the ring with him'
Tommy Fury doesn’t want to be confined to the Paul brothers and the KSIs of the world.
Having defeated arguably the two biggest influencer boxers in 2023, Fury would be interested in looking elsewhere for his next fight. Fury, the half-brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is interested in fighting UFC star Conor McGregor.
“I’m at the head of the table now,” Fury told Fight Hub TV when asked about his standing in influencer boxing. “We’ll sit down with the whole team and address what’s next, but who says it has to be the Pauls? Who says it has to be KSI?
“I would love to share the ring with Conor McGregor, and if Conor wants it next, I’ll 100 percent share the ring with him. I’m a fan of Conor McGregor. I like him. He’s a good man who got me into UFC. If he wants to share the ring, my hand is there, the offer is there. I’ll have Conor next.”
Fury is coming off a majority decision win over KSI this past Saturday in the main event of Misfits Boxing: The PRIME Card, which went down at AO Arena in Manchester, England.
When asked about the co-main event of the card, which had Logan Paul defeating Dillon Danis by disqualification, Fury had nothing positive to say about Paul but did have good words for Danis.
“Logan Paul is absolutely useless,” Fury said. “Logan Paul was 10 times more useless than me tonight, and I was pretty useless tonight, but Logan Paul is sh*te. I thought Dillon Danis did a spectacular performance because at the end of the day, Danis has never done a fight before. (Logan) had just come off sharing the ring with Mayweather, juiced up to the gills. He can’t do the rounds, can he? He was f*cked from Round 2.
“I’m not interested in Logan Paul and his fight. I’m interested in mine. I came out with the W, and now I’m going to celebrate the win with my family.”
