Tyson Fury warns that he won't be successful - Former UFC heavyweight champion Dos Santos warned him not to pursue his MMA dream

TYSON FURY was warned by Junior Dos Santos, former UFC heavyweight champion, not to attempt MMA.

Dos Santos (38), is a huge fan of the Gypsy King. He would love to see Francis Ngannou, current champ, take on Dos Santos in a boxing match.

Fury is respected as a boxer, but he questions whether his skills could transfer to the octagon since he does not have a ground game.

Dos Santos spoke to SunSport and said that he was great in boxing, but not in MMA.

"I challenge him, Triller, come to Triad to fight our style of boxing, which is boxing with the clinches.

"He does something very different. That would be better for him.

"Because he's not familiar with any ground or grappling games, he won't be able to compete in MMA.

He has a chance in Triad because the majority of the fight is boxing. He is a champion that I admire as a boxing fan.

Dos Santos still believes he can beat Fury, despite his admiration for Fury.

He would love to fight Fury and would be willing to meet Ngannou in ring to get to know Fury. His confidence is so high that he could beat the UFC heavyweight champion.

Dos Santos answered the question, "Yes, one hundred percent."

"Actually, when you talk boxing fighting the best boxers avoid fighting each other. But Tyson Fury doesn't seem to think that's his style so he will probably accept it regardless of whether it's against boxers or not.

"Yes, I would love to fight him, a champion such as him. To be honest, I'm the man to beat this guy.

Junior Dos Santos, a MMA fighter who can represent boxing at a boxing match, is what I meant. That's 100 percent. Ngannou may have a lot power, but he doesn't have any.
It is not easy to maintain endurance.

"If Ngannou wants to fight Tyson Fury, we can have a test fight in boxing.

'AVERAGE'

Tommy predicts Tyson-vs. Whyte's outcome and believes that a grudge match is just a "homecoming".

SHOTS FIRED

McGregor boasts of his net worth and throws "shots that will rattle your ancestors".

Ngannou will be defeated if I give 100 percent. He is powerful and that's all. He's easy to beat if you can avoid his power for the first three to four rounds.

"Like we see him in his final fight against Ciryl Gane, he was
so exhausted. He is so exhausted.
