Former British Heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury has clapped back at Nigerian born heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, describing him as a "plastic Nigerian'' and an "Uncle Tom."


Fury who was reacting to a recent statement credited to Joshua wrote on His Instagram page “@anthony_joshua boring hay! We see who is boring when U face me! A big bully is what you, are u big dosser. Big femi your bully street name. I’ve seen your type many times. The man who can’t speak his own mind; the plastic Nigerian"


“I’m more Nigerian than you! I’ll fly the flag for Nigeria when we fight. GYPSY MAN. Represents the world. Ali had words for a man like you, they were Uncle Tom.” He added


Joshua had ridiculed Fury's fight with Wladmir Klitschko describing it as boring. In an interview with Sky Sports, Joshua stated “He didn’t throw a punch. He didn’t come to fight. He just walked around the ring for like 12 rounds, it’s boring. It’s not winning, it’s how you win"


Joshua added “His stock didn’t rise. Your stock has got to rise and he could have had the better win, but when people look at it, many years after, ask them whose fight they will remember.”
