Heavyweight contender Tyson Fury has admitted he ‘wants to do something crazy’ on his Twitter account today. Upon thinking about it, he has decided to challenge MMA star and former wrestler Brock Lesnar.
The 23-year-old aims to face Lesnar in a boxing or bareknuckle bout.
The Manchester-born fighter currently holds the Lonsdale Belt and Commonwealth crown. But Fury fancies sharing the ring with the former WWE star.
He made the admission on social networking site Twitter this afternoon as he awaits an opponent for his next bout on November 12th.
Fury is part of the traveling community where bareknuckle fighting has been integral to everyday life.
Tyson Fury vs Brock Lesnar
With friend and former fighter Paddy Doherty ringside for his last bout, the double title holder is no stranger to a bout without gloves or rules.
Lesnar is a UFC and WWE icon. He is known for being one of the most powerful athletes in the world.
A mixture of the boxing world, MMA, and UFC would be an unprecedented move for Fury. Many see the outspoken titleholder as an outsider for a future world title shot.
Wladimir Klitschko is the current heavyweight champion but hasn’t even entertained the idea of a potential battle with the British champion.
