He then accepts that if he gets into a wrestling fight with the UFC heavyweight champion he would get tucked to the ground quite easily and he would do the same to Francis if they meet in a boxing ring. However, Fury says that he is ready to fight him if they fight in the middle ground of boxing and MMA.
