Tyson Fury tears into Conor McGregor after reaction to Khabib Nurmagomedov post

Tyson Fury tore into Conor McGregor after the fighter trolled him on social media. McGregor took exception after Fury had previously paid tribute to Khabib Nurmagomedov and the duo's interaction shows there is certainly no love lost between the pair.

Fury took to Twitter at the start of February to extol Khabib Nurmagomedov and told him he "did it right" because he "got in and won and got out at the top."

Khabib had defeated McGregor in an MMA fight in 2018, before announcing his retirement two-and-a-half years later.

The post stayed up for nearly two weeks before McGregor decided to hit back and he responded in the early hours of Sunday morning.

In McGregor's reply, he calls out Fury for his decision not to step in when the father of Billy Joe Saunders was pushed by security at the Canelo Alvarez fight last year.

Saunders senior had attempted to jump over the barrier and console his son after he had suffered a broken eye socket in his defeat to Alvarez.

But he was then shoved backwards into railings by a security guard, before members of his son's entourage leapt into action to protect him as a scuffle unfolded.

Fury, who was watching the fight ringside, opted to stay out of the chaos and didn't step in to help out.

And his actions were slammed by McGregor.

"Yup the Joyces," McGregor wrote. "Big Joe! U bottled it with Billy joe Da, what were you doing there?

"U Left him, Versace t***. U Done Nothing. Ya's did it right, ye right hahahahaaj.
