The lineal Ring magazine heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has been actively tweeting Anthony Joshua for the past couple of days.
It all started on Wednesday when ‘The Gypsy King’ unleashed Twitter fury and claimed that he doesn’t need any warm ups and wants to fight Joshua this summer.
I'm that good I don't need any warmups I can come off the couch & beat up on @anthonyfjoshua don't run your big arse in the bush,
Let's fight this summer!!! @SkySportsBoxing@SkyUK @boxnationtv @BTSportBoxing@HBOboxing@Showtime@RTLde@ITVSport#GYPSYKING LETS ROCK U BIG BUM!— TYSON FURY (@Tyson_Fury) January 3, 2018
Fury then brought up the fact that he still has the Ring belt, a title that could interest Joshua.
@anthonyfjoshua let's give the public what they want the biggest fight in British boxing history we can make this happen. Also you who'll have the opportunity to win the ring magazine belt. Don't run from me.

Today Fury continued his verbal onslaught on Twitter and called Joshua a ‘fraud’ and in true Tyson Fury fashion declared himself the true ‘Don’ of heavyweights.
Fury’s main arguments are that Joshua got dropped by Wladimir Klitschko whereas Fury outboxed the veteran with ease. He also touches on the Carlos Takam fight where the challenger’s toughness caught Joshua and the audience by surprise.
Don't be fooled by this fraud @anthonyfjoshua trying to con the boxing fans, he struggled with a 41yo man in Wladimir after I schooled him! Then made hard work of takam who took fight on 11 days notice, I'm the real Don of the heavyweights if only he had the heart to fight me?

But as always, that was not all from the former World heavyweight champion who is currently training in Marbella.
Fury issued an extreme ultimatum of sorts to Joshua.
@anthonyfjoshua To prove this fight is not about a few measly pounds for me I'll do a winner take all! loser gets nothing but a Beting & that loser will be you!👊🏻

After Joshua’s previous ‘get fit you fat f**k’ response to Fury and the backlash it caused to his public image, it’s expected that ‘AJ’ won’t bite this time around despite Fury’s active tweeting.
Training going great, #THEMACISBACK.
2018 is mine if the so called champs don't run from the king 👑 pic.twitter.com/k5WlYXl33K— TYSON FURY (@Tyson_Fury) January 4, 2018
In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Joshua spoke about how he does not get involved emotionally in pre-fight antics anymore.
“If you get into a game emotionally, I think that’s already a one up to your opponent. I’ve done against my old competitors. I went into the fight emotionally and it was a mistake,” explained Joshua.
The WBA Super, IBF & IBO World heavyweight champion will face WBO World heavyweight champion Joseph Parker next in a unification bout most likely on March 31st.
