Lineal boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has been hinting pursuing MMA, and he is taking it seriously.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Fury and fellow Englishman Darren Till worked out and sparred<\/a>. Now, Fury plans to take it a step further and go to Dublin, Ireland to train with Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to coming to train with Conor. We\u2019re going to get it all planned in and I should be over in Dublin quite soon,\u201d Fury said to on RT\u00c9 Radio 1<\/a> (h\/t The Mac Life<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Conor is an absolutely fantastic fighting man. He has offered to train me if I ever want to go into MMA,” he added. “What better trainer could I have than the Notorious Conor McGregor? I\u2019m looking forward to coming to train with Conor. We\u2019re going to get it all planned in and I should be over in Dublin quite soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll definitely be coming over for a training session, that is for sure. I have been MMA training in the last week with Darren Till in Liverpool,” Fury continued. “I really enjoy the new challenge.\u00a0I don\u2019t know where or when [I\u2019ll move into MMA] because after I finish my boxing career I fancy my hand at MMA as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many thought Tyson Fury going into MMA was a joke, including UFC president Dana White who didn’t seem interested in it<\/a>. Yet heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic says he is more intrigued by the Fury fight than the Daniel Cormier trilogy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is no question the boxing champ is interested in doing MMA and taking it quite seriously by working with Till and McGregor.<\/p>\n

Conor McGregor has not fought since his UFC 229 title fight loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov. He has claimed he will return to the Octagon on Jan. 18, probably<\/a>\u00a0against Donald Cerrone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What do you make of Tyson Fury planning on training with Conor McGregor in MMA?<\/p>\n
