Anthony Joshua Calls Out "Fat Fuck" Tyson Fury, Fury Fires Back

Almost immediately after Carlos Takam left the ring, talk turned to who Anthony Joshua would fight next.  Joshua's tenth round stoppage ensured his flawless record of 20 fights, 20 victories, 20 kos continues.

In the aftermath focus has naturally turned to his next match-up, with fight fans clamouring for a British face-off with 2015 fighter of the year, Tyson Fury.

Fury hasn't fought since defeating Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. Nevertheless the 'gypsy king' has been active on social media, as he tends to be, touting a Joshua-Fury bout as the next 'stylish Ali vs mummy Forman.'

This is what's to come! The old champ coming back to fight a man who every1 thinks will ko me, same as Ali vs Forman the stylish Ali vs the mummy Forman! We all know what happens in this fight! I know you all got me whooped, but I will not lay down or be afraid of some muscles ? & I have the mentality of a winner a man who has never lost a fight. A true champion coming back to claim his thrown, This is my era they are from my time, I must destroy them. AJ & Wilder I'm coming back for you pair my mission is seek & destroy the only thing on my mind is destruction who ever gets in my way will be dealt with accordingly. There's only 1 winner & that's the fans! Let's make the heavyweights great again, fight the best in the division, Fury= Lineal champ, Joshuar= Ibf-Ibo-wba Wilder= WBC. Parker= Wbo But to be fair Parker is only a young lad & is not on my radar he must gain experience & mature in to a big strong man. I hold my destiny in my own hands. May the best man win good luck everyone #letsgetthispartystarted 2018_2019 the world will see the best fights & see the true heavyweight king ? recrowned .

Joshua has responded today, tweeting at Furey to get himself in fight shape:

The back-and-forth has continued, with Fury posting a video message to Joshua, "the weighlifter", claiming he does not have to get fit to fight him:

Joshua also has other options, particularly a unification bout against either Joseph Parker, WBO champion or Deontay Wilder, WBC champion. Both of these fighters have spoken openly about fighting Joshua, although it appears Parker is yet to make a formal offer:

Last night Joshua also sent a message to Wilder. He followed that up with a tweet to him today, again hinting at the lack of an offer from his camp:

The problem for Fury, and the reason that it's more likely Joshua faces Parker or Wilder next, is that Fury is still awaiting the results of an UK Anti-Doping hearing.

Fury is yet to face a charge from UK Anti-Doping in relation to the "presence of a prohibited substance." He later came out and cited difficulties with depression and cocaine.

For Fury to return he must attend a hearing. One had been scheduled for July but it was adjourned.

British Board of Control chairman Robert Smith told Sky Sports Fury's team need to arrange a hearing so he can return to boxing.

It's quite simple, Fury's legal team need to agree a date.

At the present time, as I am standing here now, it hasn't been agreed.

Although Fury disputes this:

Whatever the outcome, it looks like fight fans will get to see a considerable jump in the quality of Joshua's opponent soon.
