After pulling out of the new series of I'm A Celebrity, Tommy Fury has dropped a comment about his future on social media and it has fans talking.

Following his popularity on ITV series Love Island, rumours had suggested that Fury would be making his return to reality TV for the 2024 series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!

However, new reports claim that the boxer pulled out last minute after accepting to rematch his former rival KSI after beating the YouTuber in a bout last year.

And now, Fury has offered a suggestion on where he plans to take his career next with a five-word post that has split fans on social media.

Posting a picture of him training with MMA gloves on his Facebook page, Fury wrote: "I'm coming for you UFC."

But it's safe to say that fans are not convinced that the 25-year-old would make it in the premier MMA organisation, with over 3,000 people adding a laughing reaction to the post.

Reacting to the post in the comments, one fan wrote: "Clown couldn’t do anything in boxing, going to get smashed in the cage."

Another agreed, adding: "Don’t think he’s really got the dog in him to be anything in UFC, he’s not a great boxer and been doing it since he was a kid."

However one fan argued that he should be given a chance in the organisation, writing: "Love everyone doubting him, Aaron Chalmers was a person on Geordie Shore and he had a class run at MMA.

"You think a boxer who can now effectively use the rest of his body could be terrible? Give the guy a chance."

Recently, Fury has been spending time training with UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, who he has been a close friend of since they were both young.

In a series of YouTube videos, the two men have competed against each other in a series of challenges including determining who has the harder punch.

Using a left hook, Aspinall scored 843 to beat Fury's high scores of 827 and 825 however, it was the boxer who took the next challenge of the hardest hit using just their an elbow.

Despite the UFC fighter's talents in MMA, he recorded a high score of 770 while Fury was produced an impressive total of 783.
