Tyson Fury has hit back at Anthony Joshua after his rival criticised his choice of opponents.
Fury will take on Otto Wallin in Las Vegas next month in his second fight since his draw with Deontay Wilder last year.
The Swede is unbeaten but also unknown and is unlikely to pose a test to the former heavyweight world champion.
Joshua made this point as he prepares for his rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr in December.
But Fury refuted his countryman's comments.
"Was Andy Ruiz a top tier heavyweight when [Joshua] fought him and got knocked out by him? No, he wasn't," he told Behind the Gloves.
"Nobody knew who he was, he was a two-week replacement opponent.
"People only become someone by getting an opportunity or a break and seizing it with two hands.
"This time last year Andy Ruiz was a nobody, absolutely f****** nobody and today he's heavyweight champion of the world.
"If he wasn't given the opp on two weeks' notice nobody would know his name.
"[Anthony Joshua] contradicts himself, AJ, you must think before you speak you little p****.
"He got his a*** handed to him by Andy Ruiz so now he thinks he needs to talk a little more."
Fury went on to list the opponents he claimed turned down a fight with him.
"Alexander Povetkin was offered the fight and he said no, and took a fight with [cousin] Hughie instead," he added.
"Kubrat Pulev was offered the fight and said no; Charles Martin, no; Trevor Bryant, no.
"'Big Baby' [Jarrell] Miller, popped for a drug test and Dillian Whyte popped for a drugs test.
"Wilder is fighting [Luis] Ortiz. Ruiz is fighting Joshua, who the f*** else is there?
"I could have fought Chris Arreola or someone who's been knocked out five times but what am I gaining by that?
"This guy Wallin was the highest-ranked opponent who was willing to step up - there's nobody else."
