Tyson Fury has fired back at Anthony Joshua's "fraud" claim with the pair of world champions going back and forth in a heated Twitter war.

He tweeted: "The world now sees you for the fraud you are. You've let boxing down!
"You lied to the fans and led them on. Used my name for clout not a fight. Bring me any championship fighter who can handle their business correctly."

You've let boxing down!
You lied to the fans and led them on. Used my name for clout not a fight.
Bring me any championship fighter who can handle their business correctly.

The self-proclaimed 'Gypsy King' wasted no time in responding, offering to fight 'AJ' this weekend in a bareknuckle fight.
He wrote: "Your more full of shit that Eddie, Spouting absolute shite! your full team knew there was an Arbitration going on, it was out of my hands! but i tell you what if i'm a fraud let's fight this weekend bare knuckles till 1 man quits? let's put up 20 mill each!!!"

Joshua responded: "If there was an arbitration going on, why announce to the world we are fighting! The fight was signed! UNDISPUTED
"Bare knuckle? You're a good kid, don't play with me Luke! I'll slap your bald head & you'll do nothing! Waste man."

Once again, Joshua responded as he shared a clip of a brawl from the Canelo Alvarez vs. Billy Joe Saunders fight - which shows Fury trying to break it up from behind the barriers.
He wrote: "You're not about that bare knuckle life.
"A barrier held you back, not even a bouncer!"

All this hype for nothing with Joshua and Fury unlikely to be fighting each other this summer.
