Tommy Fury wants Conor McGregor fight to rival Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson stadium showdown

Tommy Fury has called out UFC star Conor McGregor to arrange a boxing match following the announcement that Jake Paul will face Mike Tyson in the ring.

It was confirmed on Thursday that Paul would face Tyson on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas - home of NFL team the Dallas Cowboys. The event will be streamed live on Netflix, which will be the first time the service has broadcast a live boxing fight.

Fury and Paul are big rivals in boxing, with the pair previously meeting in the ring in February last year, which ended in a win for Fury. Now Paul will face Tyson - a former heavyweight champion and bonafide legend of the sport - later this year.

Fury himself has been recovering from a hand injury that saw him undergo surgery in January. It remains to be seen when the 24-year-old will have his next fight, after beating KSI in Manchester back in October.
