Fury has even teased a rematch in the cage and called out UFC superstar Jones for a future bout.
And he has the backing of his dad John, who told him to forget about boxing the MMA icon to instead go for an all out brawl.
He told Seconds Out: “I know my son, he can get it the Hectogon [Octagon] with anybody.
“If you let Tyson kick and punch you and do all of them things to you, which I think should be allowed in this fight [with Ngannou].
“I’d say let Ngannou do his s*** and let Tyson do his s***, and have a free-for-all, let the best man walk out of it.
“I think that you’ll see that with Jon Jones, I don’t want to see a boxing match.
“I want to see both men in an all-in battle royale, and let the best man stand up at the end of it with his hands in the air and say that he is the hardest man and the baddest man on the planet.”
“That’d be my plan [to fight Jon Jones]. I can’t speak for Tyson, I’m not his business advisor, I’m not his manager, I’m not his trainer, I’m just his father, but that is what I would want to see.”

Ngannou, 37, walked out on the UFC and a potential super-fight with Jones, 36, to pursue a lucrative switch to boxing.
And Fury, 35, gave up his undisputed title pursuit of Oleksandr Usyk, 36, to welcome the Cameroonian to the ring.
The British heavyweight star further distanced himself from Usyk by calling to fight Jones after Ngannou.
Fury told Queensbury Promotions: “Hopefully I get through Ngannou and then I either fight Ngannou in a cage or I fight Jon Jones in a boxing match.
“I’d go in a cage with Ngannou for sure, I’d let him kick me, I’d let him do what he wants to me, a full MMA fight.
“I’d knock him out and probably break his arm on the way too with an arm-bar, I’ll kick his leg and break it in two.”
