In recent footage, Tyson Fury was seen grappling with Nick Diaz in the gym. Even though this exchange took place in a boxing ring, it was purely grappling on show. Here, Diaz shot for a single leg, which saw Fury attempt a sprawl. However, this is where the wrestling and BJJ skills of Diaz kicked in, as he managed to take down Fury.
After this, he eventually came up to a scarfhold position and successfully held the gypsy king in side control. On a side note, it’s nice to see Fury try other martial arts as well as boxing. Does this mean Tyson Fury could make a possible venture into MMA? Hold your breath, but stranger things have happened.
Tyson Fury is considered as one of the greatest boxers ever and is known for his technical prowess. Check out his book Behind The Mask, which features his rise to stardom, battle with depression and more.
