    He said Fury looked like a “fat slob” in his exhibition bout with Francis Ngannou which many felt Fury was second best in.
    He told TNT: “He just looked like a flat slob that can’t fight. He says that bodybuilders can’t fight, but he got smacked up by one.
    “I’ve always wanted to get in the ring with him. He does a lot of talking, calls me a bodybuilder and stuff, but I want to marvel at the African power – he’s a bodybuilder, steps in and smacks him up for me.
    It comes after he used Tyson Fury’s favourite insult against him in an interview with Laura Woods.

    He labelled Fury a “dosser” for his recent performance against UFC legend Ngannou.
    He told the TNT Sports Boxing Channel’s host: “If I call people dossers for certain things and the same thing happens to me, what does that make me?”
    Woods didn’t mince her words in her jokey reply to AJ, saying “a dosser” before briefly laughing.
    Joshua replied: “He’s a dosser ain’t he?”

    Joshua has previously been reluctant to be drawn into a war of words with Fury but has now gone back on his plan not to engage with the “Gypsy King”.
    He told Woods: “Sometimes I think, ‘Should I just rip into this geezer and just call him every name under the sun?’
    “Or should I just leave him?”
    When asked to describe Fury in one word he labelled him a “diva”.
    He also maintained that he could “knock out” Fury if they were to finally make a fight happen.
    Joshua and Fury have come close to fighting a number of times but ultimately a fight never came to fruition.
    Joshua held the IBF, WBC and WBO titles during the prospective fight but has since lost them to Oleksandr Usyk – who Fury will fight to become undsputed heavyweight champion in February. More
