WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was in attendance at a Muay Thai tournament at the legendary Rajadamnern Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. A video posted by the handle 'Beyond Kickboxing' on Twitter showed 'The Gypsy King' being introduced and applauded before taking his seat.

Something that caught a fan's attention was Fury swiping his nose and breathing like he's clearing his sinuses - behavior that is commonly associated with people who consume cocaine. When the fan pointed Fury's actions out, it led to a whole series of hilarious reactions from Twitter users.

Check out the original comment posted by 'PA to Chris W':

"Blimey, cocaine [is] only prohibited in competition [as] per the WADA [World Anti-Doping Agency] code."

A user with the handle @C0br4 referred to 'The Gypsy King' as "Gypsy Ching," while another user named @heroinsson said that Fury and Conor McGregor would "have a blast" together.

However, Twitter user @HarveyDickens20 wasn't amused by the original comment and said the following:

"[He] rubbed his nose once and, all of a sudden, you think it’s enough evidence to claim [that] he is on cocaine?!"

Dana White on Tyson Fury and Jon Jones' back and forth on who is the 'baddest man on the planet'

Ever since Jon Jones made his spectacular comeback at UFC 285 and won the UFC heavyweight title, Fury has been wanting to take a crack at 'Bones'. However, the Brit is willing to fight the multiple-time UFC champion in a boxing match.

Jones, on the other hand, has invited 'The Gypsy King' to transition to MMA and fight him. Both fighters have been going back-and-forth over who is currently the 'baddest man on the planet'.

Dana White said the following about the Twitter battle:

"I like Tyson Fury, I have a great relationship with [him]. So, there's this debate right now about the baddest man on the planet, right? And, Jon Jones is the baddest man on the planet, there's no doubt about it. So when you talk about who the baddest man on the planet is - if two guys fought in a fight, who would win? If you want to discuss another possible baddest man on the planet, it would be Tyson Fury in a boxing arena."

Dana White continued:

"We all know that if Jon Jones boxed Tyson Fury, Fury wins. All these boxing guys want to talk about this and they want to keep it in the ring. I'm telling Tyson Fury, whom I respect very much - if you really want to find out who the baddest man on the planet is, I will make that fight. I will make Jon Jones vs. Tyson Fury in the octagon. We figured out how to pay Floyd [Mayweather]. We'll figure out how to pay you too, Tyson. So, the offer is out there."
