Anthony Joshua may have heard and read enough about Tyson Fury’s call outs and insults.
The WBA, IBF &I IBO World heavyweight is known for not saying a lot to his fellow rivals, especially on social media, but this morning ‘AJ’ wrote a couple of tweets to two of his future opponents, Tyson Fury and Joseph Parker.
In a recent interview with IFL.tv, Joshua said he isn’t that bothered by Fury since the former heavyweight champion is still not licensed and not in shape.
“I want him back so I can challenge Tyson Fury and we can get this show happening. At the moment it’s just talk. I’m not into the business of talking. All these guys are doing their negotiations over social media and I’m not into the business of that. When he is back, when he is ready, we’ll sit down and get the ball rolling. Until then, it’s not relevant to me,” Joshua summarised.
Joshua played it cool in front of the camera, but he’s now sent Fury a short and heated tweet.
& @Tyson_Fury get fit you fat fuck

So far Fury has not responded to Joshua’s message.
‘The Gypsy King’ has been targeting Joshua in his tweets for months now. Fury has definitely upped the trash talk lately after his announcement of a comeback in 2018 should he get licensed again.

The WBO World heavyweight champion is not much of a talker himself but Joshua sent a message to the Kiwi as well.
According to Sky Sports, there have been talks between Hearn and Parker’s promoter Dave Higgins about getting Joshua-Parker done.

Dave Higgins has made their interests clear. They want Joshua but a fair deal alongside the fight.
“Eddie Hearn and I have exchanged emails. My message was Joe would fight Joshua next and Hearn’s message was that Joshua would fight Parker next. It’s now a question of the deal and money,” revealed Higgins.
"Let's fight and prove who is the best in the world!"@joeboxerparker tells us he is ready to show just how good he is by taking on @anthonyfjoshua… ??? pic.twitter.com/sCKnWHbnhV
