Tyson Fury has been cleared for a potential super-fight with Jon Jones or Francis Ngannou, after the WBC confirmed they will not name a mandatory challenger for his heavyweight belt.

Fury has traded verbal blows with the two MMA stars for a number of weeks, as they debated over who would triumph in a fight between them - whether inside the boxing ring or the octagon.

Despite all of the discussion, it had seem that the likelihood of Fury fighting either combat star was low, following rumours that Anthony Joshua would be named as a mandatory challenger to Fury's title.

However, as Joshua continues his discussions over a rematch with Dillian Whyte, it's now been confirmed by that the WBC will not select a replacement.

And it's led to suggestions that the 'Gypsy King' is lining up a super-fight with either Ngannou or Jones, who both made their names inside the octagon.
