TYSON FURY has found himself in a furious row with sports pundit Simon Jordan – who has poked fun at his failed drug test.
The Gypsy King was on the receiving end of a scathing rant from the talkSPORT presenter following his latest demand – the forgoing of a rematch clause – for his undisputed heavyweight title fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
The WBC heavyweight champ didn’t take kindly to Jordan’s comments, saying on Instagram while huffing and puffing on the cross-trainer: “To all the haters out there, a massive f**k you!
“Because I got 70 per cent of the undisputed heavyweight championship [purse].
“Simon Jordan, you’re a little b***h. No wonder you lost £100million, you b***h.
“Wrong business, you little sausage.”

It didn’t take long for Jordan to get wind of Fury’s expletive-laden jibe, which he responded to with a dig at his failed drug test in 2015.
He said: “You’re a walking contradiction, never pay your bets, boar meat you scoffed down with nandrolone.
“Most of the time we say, ‘Best heavyweight in the world.’
“But a bit of criticism and you rant. Get over it, get on with the fight.”

Jordan later added: “He’s a wally, isn’t he? Never mind Gypsy King, he’s the gormless king, he tagged Simon Cowell.
“He’s feeble-minded sometimes. Bottom line he’s right, he got 70/30, I did lose a bunch of money, but he’s a bit of a berk, isn’t he?”
Fury, 34, tested positive for elevated levels of the banned anabolic steroid nandrolone following his stoppage victory over Christian Hammer.
Cousin Hughie also tested positive for the performance-enhancing drug, which both men denied intentionally taking.
The duo attributed their positive tests to eating uncastrated wild boar and were retroactively handed two-year bans from UKAD in December 2017.

Fury shed some light on the saga in his autobiography, Behind The Mask.
He said: “The issue of the raised level of nandrolone came in a test in February 2015, but I wasn’t made aware of possible charges against me until long after that.
“The body naturally produces nandrolone but mine had a high level for some reason.

“I can categorically state, however, that I have never taken any performance-enhancing drugs and never will.”
Fury’s historic undisputed showdown with Usyk is currently hanging on a knife edge, with the Ukrainian’s promoter adamant the fight won’t come to fruition for the proposed April 29 date.
