Tyson Fury has reignited the war of words between himself and Deontay Wilder by seizing on the opportunity to ridicule his upcoming opponent after he pulled out of media commitments through illness.

The heavyweight pair are set to clash once again in their rematch next month in Las Vegas, and both fighters were due to appear in Phoenix, Arizona in the US to promote the fight.

But after Wilder was a no show at the TV event, Fury pounced on the chance to lay into him by posting a rant on Instagram.

Fury accused Wilder's promotional team of hiding the star and said the 34-year-old knew he would be 'humiliated' if the pair faced off on camera.
