TYSON FURY has reignited his war of words with Anthony Joshua after getting wind of his rival’s recent bizarre training session.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua is gearing up to take part in the second fight of his career rebuild on August 12.
Joshua, 33, has been hard at work in Texas under the watchful eye of new head trainer Derrick James ahead of his ring return.
The Watford warrior recently lightened the load on his fists by hitting a mattress with several combinations.
It didn’t take long for the clip to come to the attention of Fury, who didn’t hold back with his criticism.
He commented: “Proper sausage.”
Boxing fans were quick to respond to Fury’s taunt, with one saying: “Haha what a hilarious comment.”
Another said: “Tyson is funny AF.”
And another said: “Sausage.”
One remarked: “Get up Tyson.”

Another chimed in: “These 2 better fight one day man!”
Dillian Whyte also weighed in, chiming in: “Is mind is gone.”
Joshua is on the brink of renewing his 14-year rivalry with Brixton banger Whyte, whom he first locked horns with as an amateur back in 2009.
Negotiations over a professional rematch between the pair have been ongoing for the last month.
And the fight moved a huge step closer to coming to fruition late last month when Team Joshua removed a rematch clause placed in the first contract sent to Whyte.
Joshua will look to use Whyte to further build his confidence ahead of a December dust-up with former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.
And Promoter Eddie Hearn has claimed the deal for the long-time rivals to finally throw down is on the brink of being finalised.
He told Boxing News: “Obviously with our meetings with Saudi on Friday, Thursday.
“We’re in a really great place we virtually have a deal agreed in principle subject to a few final discussions.

“We’re meeting them again on Monday.
“I think we’re in a good place but we want to fight on August 12th, and it’s important to his development and his momentum that he does and that’s still the plan.”
