Tyson Fury confirms he will begin training with Conor McGregor ‘soon’ ahead of sensational MMA switch
TYSON FURY has revealed that he will train with Conor McGregor to prepare him for a sensational switch to MMA.
The Gypsy King is currently in boxing camp ahead of his rematch on February 22 against Deontay Wilder.
The two are believed to have agreed on a trilogy fight - but Fury is already looking ahead past that and a change of sports.
He has already tried his hand in WWE, defeating Braun Strowman at the Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia in October.
Speaking on RTE Radio 1, as reported by Boxing Scene, the 31-year-old confirmed he will head over to Dublin for a session with The Notorious.
He said: "I think Conor is an absolutely fantastic fighting man. He has offered to train me if I ever want to go into MMA.
TRAINED WITH TILL
"What better trainer could I have than The Notorious Conor McGregor?
"I'm looking forward to coming to train with Conor. We're going to get it all planned in and I should be over in Dublin quite soon.
"I'll definitely be coming over for a training session, that is for sure.
"I have been MMA training with Darren Till in Liverpool. I really enjoy the new challenge.
"I don't know where or when [I'll make my MMA debut] because after I finish my boxing career I fancy my hand at MMA as well."
