Ahead of Jake Paul versus Tyron Woodley this weekend on BT Sport Box Office, boxing icon John Fury goes up against UFC stalwart Dan Hardy in the ultimate debate: boxing vs MMA.

Which sport is more dangerous? Which is more skilful? What does the involvement of YouTubers say about the state of boxing? Why do UFC fighters earn so much less than boxers?

The pair grapple with these highly contentious issues and more in this epic discussion.

John Fury was also asked how his son Tyson Fury would fare in the UFC, should he one day choose to move into MMA.

    It's almost unnerving how much John and Tyson sound like the same person.
  • @Mstarfracture
    Love John’s honesty and respect towards MMA, something a lot of hardcore boxing personalities lack.
  • John Fury seems to have no insecurities about his sport. The way he outlines his thinking is so logical and coherent. Even if one disagrees with certain aspects ,Fury still adds food for thought.Decades of experience and a voice from the inside,no sugarcoating or emotional reasoning.
  • All the interviews that BT has had this week have been absolutely incredible. I could listen to John and Dan talk all friggin day.
  • @Lonewolf__666
    I love John when he goes off on one.. but I see he also have a laid back/ softer side to him. Seems a good all round knowledgeable guy.
  • @xn-triq7607
    This was brilliant, so refreshing to hear people actually talk with honesty rather than scripted bs. Always liked Dan, always liked the Fury family, wish this went on for longer tbh.
  • @Brummieck
    Love Dan hardy he can knows exactly what to ask anyone he’s a true fan of all combat sports
  • @aidenc1998
    It really depends what you want to see, refined boxing skills and technique. Or a Jack of all trades fight where every discipline mixes. I prefer MMA personally.
  • @shootboxpodcast
    Grew up in a boxing family but naturally picked up an MMA obsession early. I think it's a generational thing. That and it was a lot easier to access event schedules and every single fight was uploaded online going back a long time. Boxing archives are so mixed and matched it's impossible for one person to give themselves a history lesson.
  • First time I hear John Fury talk and wow what an open-minded and intelligent man, he definitely played a huge role in Tyson's boxing development as a mma fan, hope he gets more involved in mma somehow.
  • @ChrisFXOriginal
    I love big John, he is wise and well spoken. Tough and down to earth at the same time!!
  • @thedawghouseg
    My Grandads 86 years old loves watching boxing but got him into ufc the other year and he absolutely loves it watches it every week when ever it’s on 😂🤣 prefers ufc now
  • @ASM881
    I think the reason boxing dropped off in popularity over the last few decades is that it was horribly mismanaged. Too many competing companies with too many belts, and too many fighters afraid to lose their perfect records meant that the sport lost steam after the Mike Tyson era. Enter Dana White and the UFC and boxing was essentially dead. I hope it comes back. I love Fury.
  • @jerrydavis4860
    Has to agree with everything john says,been a breath of fresh air on these interviews,real talk
  • Was expecting a heated debate from Fury but was pleasantly surprised with this, just wish it was a 2 hour podcast 💯
  • @MJPno.8
    Great combination, a master stroke bringing in John fury. Really enjoyed this debate with these 2. 👍👍
  • @guyvelvet1980
