TYSON FURY has blasted back at Connor McGregor in an extraordinary Twitter row between the two superstars.
UFC legend Notorious took aim at the boxer earlier when he called him a ‘Versace T***’ for not helping Billy Joe Saunders’ dad in his row with security following his son’s defeat to Canelo Alvarez.
The Brit’s fight against the Mexican icon was waved off last summer due to ‘Superb’ suffering a broken eye socket.
The star’s worried father Tom decided he needed to check on his son, and leapt over the barrier.
But Tom, wearing a blue cap, was shoved forcibly backwards by a security guard, before others joined in to help Saunders Sr.
However, WBC heavyweight champion Fury decided to stay out of the brawl – something which his next opponent Dillian Whyte has already called him a ‘coward’ for.
Wearing a Versace shirt, the 6ft 9in 19st-plus Gypsy King stayed behind the ringside barrier and appeared to be begging for calm.
McGregor has joined in and said Fury ‘bottled it’ during the melee.

The Irishman appeared to be irked by a tweet from Fury that praised McGregor’s longtime rival Khabib Nurmagomedov.
And in a reply to that, McGregor mocked Fury for not defending Saunders’ dad.
He wrote: “Yup the Joyces. Big Joe! U bottled it with Billy joe Da, what were you doing there ? ULeft him, Versace t*** U.Done. Nothing.
“Ya’s did it right ye right hahahahaaj. Even when I’m wrong i’m right. Who did it right ? The Mac daddy tonight, in house. Miami d12! Bahamas.”
But Fury has wasted little time in a comeback by replying: “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, 
& yes Big up the hulk Joe, #morecambebay. in the house.”
Saunders was contemplating hanging up his gloves after the crushing damage in his defeat to Canelo but recently admitted he misses boxing.
Fury, a longtime friend of Saunders, had previously told him not to retire and claimed that it would ‘haunt him forever’ if he quit.
