TYSON FURY called Anthony Joshua a chicken nugget’ as he took aim on his chiseled body.
They were set to fight in an undisputed bout during the summer, but an arbitrator decided that Fury must face Deontay Wilder a third-time. The dust-up will take place in Las Vegas on October 9.
Fury was discussing Joshua with Gary Neville on The Overlap
Joshua is currently focusing on Oleksandr Usyk (WBO mandatory challenger), whom he will face at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, September 25.
They continue to fight, but that does not stop them from aiming at each other.
Joshua blamed Fury, a belief that was shared by the WBC champion.
Fury joked with Gary Neville during The Overlap: "Yeah. I backed out, and I admit it. He's scary to me.
"I fought the greatest men in the world and beat them, but this plum scares me.
"I'm going to call him a chicken nugget because he's ripped, and I'm jealous."
If they get through Wilder or Usyk, Fury and AJ may look to fight each other.
Wilder accused Fury recently of imitating Covid to delay their fight from July to October.
After testing positive for coronavirus in Britain, the Brit had to postpone the fight. This is something that the American refuses to believe.
Wilder spoke to 78SPORTSTV and said that COVID has claimed the lives of many.
"It is horrible to hear people use this excuse. They will be burned to hell for this.
"They contradict themselves so often, it's just absurd at this point."
They fought to a draw in December 2018, Los Angeles. Many felt Fury won the fight after he leapt off the table in the 12th round.
The two fighters then parted ways, with each fighting twice before they re-entered the ring together 14 months later in Las Vegas.
Fury managed to take the American's belt and dominate him, stopping Wilder in round seven.
