TYSON FURY laughed at Derek Chisora’s claim that Anthony Joshua could blast him out’.
Chisora, twice beaten by Fury in the past, predicted that AJ would have the punch power necessary to knock the Gypsy King out of his light.
Derek Chisora was contacted by Tyson Fury
.
The suggestion was laughed at by the WBC champion, who got up on the ground to defeat heavy-hitter Deontay wilder in October.
Fury stated in a tweet: "This message is to Derek Chisora. I just saw that you thought AJ would blast you out. Never in a million of years.
"If Wladimr Klitschko could't blast my out, and if the biggest puncher of history couldn't blast it out, then a big old bodybuilder couldn't blast us out, my friend."
Chisora (38), is a former Finchley Amateur Boxing teammate of AJ's. He is now part the 258 Management stable of British stars.
He backed Joshua, 32 to defeat Fury, 33 in a possible fight, but only if Fury gets in the distance.
Chisora said to talkSPORT radio, "I'll go along with AJ. AJ's power punch has been incredible.

"If Fury isn't quick enough to get on the ball, then you're in trouble."
Joshua and Fury were ready to fight in the final, undisputed heavyweight title decider.
Wilder, 36, was owed a contract trilogy bout. This was cancelled later.
Fury went on KO the American after 11 thrilling rounds. However, AJ was shocked two weeks later by Oleksandr Uzyk, 34 on points.
Joshua will now invoke his right for an immediate rematch in March, and Chisora stated that if he has the right game plan, vengeance is his.
He said, "I believe AJ wins that second round.
"When I spoke with him, I asked him if the fight was back. He said that he had only seen four rounds because he didn’t like how he boxed.
"I asked him what his plans were for the rematch, and he replied: "You'll see."
Fury was skeptical about Joshua's chances at vengeance against Usyk and convinced him that he would be the one to lose.
He stated: "So Del. He ain't got to fight Usyk again. He will be beaten by Usyk next time.
He'll beat you on points. It only takes one man to win, but it's me.
"There has only been one man ever on these shores. He's known as the Gypsy King (AKA Tyson Fury).
