Tyson Fury has picked apart Anthony Joshua's 'love' of England and desire to fight his great boxing rival on home soil, by dredging up his speech appearing to call for a block on spending in white-owned shops.
Fury, 38, and 36-year-old Joshua are embroiled in a bitter tug-of-war over their heavyweight superfight - largely centring on a debate around hosting it at London's Wembley Stadium or broadcaster Netflix's choice of Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Yesterday, Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn said Wembley talks had 're-opened', weeks after the fight looked set to be signed off in New York in November - in what has become a crusade towards keeping the event at 'home' for the two fighters.
Fury is keen to make clear Joshua is not motivated by a love of his country. Earlier this year Daily Mail Sport revealed Joshua had in fact quit the UK to move to Dubai - even as thousands tried to flee amid rising panic in the Middle East warzone.
And Fury, a tax exile to the Isle of Man himself, brought up a 2020 speech at a Black Lives Matter march, where Joshua read out a letter from his friend Reece Campbell to urge attendees to stop spending money with white-owned shops and businesses.
'Show them where it hurts,' Joshua had said. 'Abstain from spending your money in their shops and economies, and invest in black-owned businesses.'
