UFC president Dana White admits he has held recent talks with Tyson Fury about a potential move into MMA.
The Gypsy King continues to insist he is keen to try his hand in the UFC once he hangs up his boxing gloves for good in the not so distant future.
Fury has already made an appearance in WWE and looks set to broaden his portfolio once again after holding talks with White.
Speaking recently, the UFC president played down rumours the 31-year-old would be stepping into the Octagon.
But White has backtracked, revealing he has spoken with Fury about a change in discipline.

“It’s interesting,” he told Washington’s 106.7 FM radio station.
“He and I talked the other day. We talked. So he really is interested in fighting, so I respect that.
“We’ll see. We’ll see what happens.”
Fury beat Swedish fighter Otto Wallin earlier this year before taking on Braun Strowman in a WWE clash.

Meanwhile, Deontay Wilder emerged victorious against Luis Ortiz with a sensational seventh-round KO last month, paving the way for a highly-anticipated rematch with the Brit next year.
And it looks like any UFC move for Fury may come after he settles his scores in the ring.
“Let’s see what happens with his boxing career,” White added.
“He’s got this rematch coming up with Wilder, which is obviously huge and a fun fight for the heavyweight division.
“You’ve got (Andy) Ruiz and (Anthony) Joshua fighting this weekend… So we’ll see how that goes, and we’ll see what happens.”
Fury has called out UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou in recent weeks.
And the boxer has also been spotted training in the Octagon with Darren Till.
