Joshua vs Klitschko: Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury exchange social media jibes

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have become embroiled in a heated verbal spat on social media.

With less than a fortnight until Joshua meets Wladimir Klitschko for the IBF and WBA 'super' heavyweight world title in front of 90,000 people at Wembley Stadium, live on Sky Sports Box Office on April 29, he has responded to a jibe from former title-holder Fury.

Fury, who beat Klitschko for his world heavyweight titles before being stripped of the IBF belt which Joshua now owns, likened his British rival to the popular former world champion Frank Bruno.
