He wanted to fight Cain Velasquez a few years ago. In an MMA fight. Velasquez told him he needed to earn it first.
I think Randy Couture once said mma was for guys who didn't have the hands for boxing, definitely correct.
You could say that Boxing is for people that can't fight... I mean some people think that Mayweather, Golovkin or Kovalev are THE baddest men on the planet! Punching is just one part of fighting.
I suspect that Fury is just trolling because that is how Fury do. MMA is just different. It makes perfect sense for Amir Aliakbari (http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2014/10/...champion-aliakbari-training-for-mma-career-at) to be giving MMA a try. It would make no sense for him to decide to give boxing ago. Why would a world class wrestler try and be a pro boxer?
