TYSON FURY slammed ‘coward’ Dillian Whyte and fired an X-rated insult as the taunts continue ahead of their world title fight.
The 33-year-old rivals were subject to a record-breaking purse bid which was won by Fury’s promoter Frank Warren following a £30.6million offer.
Whyte has been almost radio silent since the fight announcement, whereas the Gypsy King has been full of trash talk.
And while out training in Dubai, Fury took the chance to take another swipe at his former training partner for going quiet on him.
He said: “Back grinding, all the time grinding, never stop. I’m still looking for this little sucker Dillian Whyte.
“Where are you coward? Whyte feathers come out and fight me, dosser. Talked it a lot, didn’t he? ‘He won’t fight this’. Who’s a coward now? Coward.
“Who’s the s***house now? You useless dosser.”
It is believed the pair have now both received contracts to fight meaning confirmation of the date and venue is nearing.

Cardiff’s Principality Stadium was an early frontrunner to host the all-British showdown.
But the home of Welsh rugby appears out of the the picture now, with Wembley or West Ham’s London Stadium other options.
Promoter Frank urged Whyte to put his money where his mouth is and sign on the dotted line.
He told The Mirror: “That’s all we want to do, get on with it.
“He’s been bleating and moaning that it’s been 1,000 days – I think it’s more like 1,200 days – that he’s been waiting.

“Well he’s got his shot now and he’s getting a record purse for it, plus that carrot of £4m if he wins, so go for it.
“All the nonsense that’s gone down from Eddie Hearn about the deposit, the deposit has been paid.
“The contract has been approved by the WBC and has been sent to them, so it’s up to Whyte’s people to send it back now. The ball’s in their court, absolutely.
“There shouldn’t be any issues. We won the purse bid, we’re using the standard WBC contract, both boxers sign it and that should be it.
“What’s there to negotiate?”
