Tyson Fury labels rival Tony Bellew ‘a s**t bag’ in Twitter bust-up as fighters plan to clash next year
The self-proclaimed Gypsy King continued his war of words with the 35-year-old
TYSON FURY and Tony Bellew traded blows on Twitter as the pair fuel rumours about a huge heavyweight clash.
The self-proclaimed Gypsy King began the feud last month after the 35-year-old's fight with David Haye was postponed.
Fury, who has been out of action for two years, is hoping to regain his licence and return to the ring next year.
And he has already created beef with a handful of potential opponents, including British brute Anthony Joshua.
But his war of words with Bellew has continued, with the former World Champ calling the Liverpool fighter a 's**t bag'.
On Sunday, he tweeted: '@TonyBellew I've had enough of your nonsense, s**t bag! U won't fight @anthonyfjoshua as your scared but if Haye beats u! He will so whats that say? #s**thouse #bumcity #1round'.
Bellew was quick to respond: 'That says he's a fantasist and I'm a realist that's what it says to me! As for you on the other hand., I believe I can beat you... I 100% know I hit harder than you! I'm quicker than you! Only question for me is? How much can you take'.
Fury has not been in the ring since he dethroned world champion Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.

And after two years out, he is now knuckling down in the gym in a bid to lose weight ahead of his highly anticipated return.
He responded: 'What makes you think u can beat me seriously as I'm intrigued? Sensible convo? Is it my time out the ring? Or my weight?'
Bellew bit back with just minutes later: 'Seriously? A bit of both add to the fact that your not a puncher and you've also never boxed anyone who can you miss for fun. All jokes aside, Cunningham dropped you flat on your back when you was 100% on it! I hit harder than him so what can I do? Styles make fights lad'.
Fury responded: 'You have a 59% KO rating compared to my 72% so that being said I hit much harder than u may think, but I see your point about Cunningham! Well there's only 1 way to find out pal! Get past the faker then u got your fight'.
But the pair ended the online exchange positively and confirmed that they will both be trying to make the fight happen.
The Gypsy King tweeted: '@TonyBellew good luck with your next fight, hopefully we both get our stuff sorted & can give the boxing fans a good fight sometime. All [love emoji] and [kissing emoji] see you soon'.
Bellew said: 'Thank you. I only wish well! Your a man of your word so hopefully we can get this over line. Very best of luck with your training and prep going forward. ps Any chance of putting that fur coat on the line with the belt when we fight? Cos I swear I love that coat lad'.
