Tyson Fury sends message to Dana White urging him to get in the Octagon for UFC fight

Tyson Fury has told Dana White to "grow a pair" and fight his dad after their war of words.

John Fury launched an extraordinary rant directed at UFC chief White after he claimed his son would "get smashed' if he entered the cage.

He told iFL TV he could "probably smash Dana White with one punch" and told him "keep my son's name out of your mouth".

And the Gypsy King now wants to see the pair of veterans do battle in what he is already branding the "Battle of the baldies".

Fury told BT Sport: "Dana, if you're watching... Grow a pair and sign the contract to fight my dad!

"Battle of the baldies!"

Fury has been training with Darren Till prompting speculation he could make a switch to UFC.

A clash with Stipe Miocic could be on the cards - but in the ring rather than the Octagon.

"I saw Tyson Fury is coming into the mix now here,” Miocic said. “I like a new challenge.”

Fury responded by stating he will take him on in a boxing match.

"Stipe says he wants to box me. That would be a good fight for sure," Fury said.

"After I get Wilder out of the way I’ll fight Stipe in a boxing match if he wants it. It would be a big crossover fight like Mayweather and McGregor.”

"I'm open to that fight so he should come and see me. It would be the same outcome for any of them, they'll all get smashed."
