TYSON FURY claims that Anthony Joshua sent him a text saying "let's get who loses the first fat boy" before his 2018 comeback.
The WBC heavyweight champion was back in the ring in 2015 to face Sefer Seferi. This was his first fight since defeating Wladimir Klitschko on November 2015.
Tyson Fury defeated Sefer Seferi in a comeback fight at Manchester Arena, June 2018.
Joshua sent the Gypsy King famously a tweet in which he advised the 33-year old to "get fit you fat ".
Fury now reveals that AJ didn't send him a message during his hiatus.
Kugan Cassius, a reporter for iFL TV, reminded Fury that he was not given a chance against Deontay Wilder in his first fight.
The unbeaten Mancunian replied: "No, I wasn't, I pulled through, and that's all I. Gypsy King
He said, "Listen, I'm not an overbearing bragger or an egotistical person. I do what's best for me and sometimes I get lucky. That's all."
It is what it is. 31 times in succession - 0 & 1
Cassius stated that Fury must be doing something right and the boxer responded, "I'm doing alright. I can recall when I was as fat as f 28stone.
Joshua sent me a message. He said, "Get fit you fat f " and he added, "Let's see who's the first fat boy".
I was like, "f ****** Game on." He sent me a message saying this. We'll see who loses the first.
"And I believe he's already been lost twice." "I still have that big fat zero baby."
AJ TO STEP AWAY?
Joshua is currently training to face Oleksandr Uzyk, the rematch between the two after the 2012 Olympic gold medallist was defeated by the smooth Ukrainian southpaw.
Fury wants AJ to leave so he can fight Usyk in his bid for the title of undisputed heavyweight champion, as he did with Lennox Lewis in 1999.
Joshua insists he is not going to sit on the sidelines but that he is a businessman and will consider an offer.
Fury responded by saying: "Listen, I'm going to not give an opinion about that because he will end up seeing the interview and not standing aside."
"So, I want him to leave so that I can completely batter Oleksandr Uzyk. If he does, then he does. And if not, he doesn’t.
"But I will tell you one thing: Get the f*** off with it. Either you take your money and f*** off, or you fight the man. You can choose one of the two.
