TYSON FURY has called out Joe Joyce as he labelled the Brit “the second best heavyweight in the world”.
The Gypsy King has moved on quickly from the disappointment of not landing a fight with Anthony Joshua.
The WBC belt holder has now said he wants to fight Joyce “one day” following his epic knockout win over Joseph Parker on the weekend.
Fury warned that Joyce was “f***ing coming for everybody”.
In the Instagram video, the boxer said: “I’ve had a lovely day of watching boxing, watching all the big fights and studying all the heavyweights, and I got to say, that big Joe Joyce, is the second best heavyweight in the world. Behind myself.
“And on his day, given his moment, who knows if he could beat me or not. I think we’ll have to find out one of these days.

“Who knows if he’s number one? One day, we’ll have to find out who’s better out of me and him.
“At the moment, I’m ruling the roost as I’m heavyweight champion and he’s not, but he’s f***ing coming for everybody, don’t you worry about that. Come on big Joe-ahh!”
Fury’s next fight is against Manuel Charr in December after he and AJ’s camp failed to agree terms.
The 34-year-old announced on Monday that he was pulling the plug on the fight after weeks of negotiations, to the disappointment of British boxing fans.

But if Joyce were interested in Fury’s proposal, it could set up the prospect of another mouth-watering British battle next year.
Joyce’s stock has risen after his 11th round knockout of Parker on Saturday night in Manchester.
Fans and pundits have been considering what his next moves could be as he looks to make an assault on the biggest names in the heavyweight division.
Oleksander Usyk, the WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring title holder, is among those who Joyce may be hoping to target.
Usyk has just come off the back of a second victory against Anthony Joshua last month.
But Usyk will not be fighting again in 2022, and many fans will be hoping he is set to have a huge clash with Fury in 2023 if the pair can agree on terms.
The Ukrainian said that Fury had wanted £500m for the fight, and jokingly labelled him a “lunatic”.
