Fury now claims the row was just a ‘publicity stunt’ explaining that he and McGregor could never fall out for real.

Speaking at a press conference announcing his next fight against Dillian Whyte, the Gypsy King said: “Beef? Man’s 10 stone [I’m] 20 stone behave yourselves, only beef we would have is me eating him in a beef sandwich.

“[It was a] bit of a publicity stunt. Super Bowl weekend, all eyes on us.”

The ‘beef’ started when Fury shared a picture of McGregor’s rival Khabib Nurmagomedov and praised the retired Russian fighter.

Fury posted: “This man did it right. Got in and won and got out on top. Big respect.”

McGregor, who lost his grudge match with Khabib in 2018, responded by slamming Fury for not stepping in when Billy Joe Saunders’ dad was shoved by security after his son’s scrap with Canelo last year.

McGregor said: “Yup the Joyces. Big Joe! U bottled it with Billy joe Da, what were you doing there?”.

The 33-year-old has since deleted the tweet.

Fury then responded saying: “Come back when u win a fight mush, & the difference in me & you is I don’t get myself in trouble & people actually like me, your just a bully who hit old man.”

McGregor then replied: “Oh no people don’t like me what will I ever do hahahahaaha idiot. You are just a little r** licker bro. That’s all. You stood there while your friends father was being attacked and done nothing.”

Fury stopped short of continuing this argument on.

But recently he commented on an old video clip of him praising the Notorious and saying: “It’s all good, we forget it.

McGregor responded: “Fair play Tyson. God bless ya mate.”

The pair appear to have patched up their differences
