As previously reported, Tyson Fury claims that he receives more racial abuse now he is world champion but also insists he does not care as long as boxing makes him rich.

Fury, who calls himself the 'Gyspy King' and comes from a Traveller background, is preparing for a world title rematch with Wladimir Klitschko at the MEN Arena on July 9.

The pair went head to head in Germany last November when Fury pulled off a remarkable points victory to secure the WBA, IBF, IBO and WBO belts.

"What's changed since becoming world champion? Nothing really, I just get more racial abuse and discrimination. Success equals hatred and jealousy," Fury said.

"I'm making money so I don't really care. You're either loved or hated, it all equals pound coins in the bank. I'm happy to play the pantomime villain as long as I get a big pay cheque with plenty of zeroes on it - happy days."

Olympic gold medal winner Anthony Joshua, who clinched the IBF title last Saturday by knocking out Charles Martin in two rounds at London's O2 Arena, has advised Fury to deal with it.

Since winning the title, Joshua has been a direct target of Fury's taunts and insults.

"Everyone has their opinion," said Joshua to BBC Sport. "It's a social world and you just have to take it.

"You take the good with the bad and that's just the world we live in. Tyson, you need to grow a thick skin and learn how to deal with these things because sometimes he says negative things about people, about women and so on, and they have to deal with it. So sometimes you have to take a bit of backlash."
