The pair came face-to-face in Saudi Arabia at the money-spinning Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou mega event where the idea was first floated around.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Fury Sr says they are exploring the possibility of an exhibition bout and are planning on sitting down with the former four-weight world champion to thrash out a deal. \u201cWe\u2019re speaking to Roy Jones Jr; we can do something with him,&#8221; Fury Sr told<em> Express Sport <\/em>via Free Bets UK.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m giving it some thought at the time of speaking. Roy Jones Jr is a great guy. He\u2019s a lovely fella, a standup man and a hall-of-fame great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pressed on whether the discussions have centred around a fight between Tommy and Jones Jr, Fury Sr replied: \u201cYeah, maybe it is an exhibition or something, whatever he wants to do. We\u2019ve not really spoken in great detail, but he did say over in Saudi \u2018Let\u2019s do something\u2019 and we\u2019re all ears. We just need to sit down and see what is best for Tommy and Roy Jones Jr.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/102\/590x\/secondary\/John-Fury-Tommy-Fury-Roy-Jones-Jr-5078694.jpg?r=1700641342132\"><\/p>\n<p>Jones Jr may have his best days behind him but the 54-year-old is still actively competing in the sport. In April, he went the distance with former UFC lightweight world champion Antony Pettis in a professional boxing bout before knocking out bodybuilder &#8220;NDO Champ&#8221; in the first-ever Metaverse boxing match two months later.<\/p>\n<p>During a glistening professional boxing career stretching back to 1989, Jones Jr won world titles from middleweight all the way up to heavyweight. But despite retiring on multiple occasions RJ has been unable to kick the bug and now wants to share the ring with a boxer 30 years his junior.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Misfits star Armz collapses from exhaustion and carried out of ring after win[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Floyd Mayweather announces he&#8217;s fighting grandson of notorious gangster[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Tyson Fury discloses huge final figure he earned from Francis Ngannou fight[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/102\/590x\/secondary\/Roy-Jones-Jr-5078708.jpg?r=1700641342189\"><\/p>\n<p>The last time Tommy stepped between the ropes he defeated KSI via unanimous decision on the Misfits Boxing Prime Card at the Manchester Arena last month.

A hearing took place on Monday and a decision is set to be reached by the review panel and announced within 14 days.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/affiliateswidgets\/175x108\/1695116350709.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/affiliateswidgets\/115x50\/1695116196960.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/affiliateswidgets\/115x50\/1695116196960.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Watch TNT Sports and Discovery+ througn Amazon Prime Video for \u00a329.99 a month.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an easy way to watch all the best sports and the Premier League throughout 2023 without signing up to a contract.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/affiliateswidgets\/175x108\/1692264159219.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/affiliateswidgets\/115x50\/1692263979790.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/affiliateswidgets\/115x50\/1692263979790.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Sky is giving exisiting customers the chance to watch TNT Sports for just \u00a325 a month.<\/p>\n<p>It is added onto your existing package meaning you can watch every UEFA Champions League and Europa League match, plus exclusive Premier League games.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/affiliateswidgets\/175x108\/1692264531299.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/affiliateswidgets\/115x50\/1692264338510.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/affiliateswidgets\/115x50\/1692264338510.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Virgin Media allows customers to upgrade their existing packages for a set price.<\/p>\n<p>But if you&#8217;re not yet a Virgin Media customer, you can get the Bigger Bundle + Sports for \u00a365 a month.<\/p>\n<p>It comes with mega fast broadband, a Virgin 360 box and TONS of sports channels for you to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/boxing\/1837640\/Tommy-Fury-KSI-John-Fury-Roy-Jones-Jr-boxing-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Fury confirms\u00a0he has spoken to Roy Jones Jr about the possibility of the boxing legend fighting his son Tommy <span class=\"more-text\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":300114,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Tommy Fury &#039;in talks&#039;
