Anthony Joshua has offered Tyson Fury a ringside seat for his heavyweight title fight against Charles Martin in a furious back-and-forth Twitter exchange.

Joshua welcomes Martin to The O2 on Saturday, live on Sky Sports Box Office, aiming to win the IBF title that Fury previously took from Wladimir Klitschko in November.

The 26-year-old from Watford earlier accused Fury of "hating" on his body after the WBO and WBA champion dismissed him as a "bodybuilder". The ongoing row between the unbeaten Brits took to social media on Tuesday.

"I got you and a plus-one ringside ticket so you can come and give me this same treatment on Saturday #Hater," Joshua tweeted alongside a picture of Fury congratulating Martin on his most recent win in January.

Fury had previously sparked the argument by mocking the idea that he was jealous of "a weightlifter who is fighting for a paper title".
