      And Fury even presented AJ with the chance to settle their score as recently at this September.
      But Joshua, 33, instead returns on August 12 in a rematch with Dillian Whyte, which could set up a super-fight against Deontay Wilder.
      It has left Fury somewhat in the lurch and venting his frustration.
      He told the Out Of Interest podcast: “I’ve been trying to fight Joshua since 2017 but he’s a little bitch, a p***y, so I don’t think you’ll see it.

      “To fight a man like me you’ve got to have big b******s, and it you don’t have that, forget about it. Because you can’t even enter my world.
      “I will annihilate that motherf****r. Physically, mentally and emotionally. So he ain’t man enough to fight somebody like me.”
      Joshua rematches Whyte, 35, at the O2 Arena knowing a loss will KO his blockbuster with Wilder, 37, in Saudi Arabia.
      Meanwhile Fury, 34, is linked with a crossover bout against ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou, 36.

      It is rumoured to be next for the Gypsy King and the man himself confirmed offers have been sent his way.
      Fury said: “I think there’s been a lot of talk of me and Ngannou fighting each other.
      “He wants to come to boxing and he wants to fight me, he was even at one of my last fights and got up on the ring and confronted me.
      “There’s potential. We’ve had a lot of offers from the Middle East at the moment to host that fight over the summer.”

      I’m a heavyweight who has shared ring with Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, there is only one winner in that fight

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA and Deontay Wilder are closing in on a super-fight sure to divide opinions. The question of whether Wilder’s feared power or Joshua’s brute strength will prevail has raged on for over five years.

      But promoter Eddie Hearn revealed a deal is now in place for the pair to finally settle the score, eyed for December in Saudi Arabia.
      It would promise to pit two of the heavyweight division’s top stars against each other in a true clash of styles.
      And one man with inside knowledge on the duo is heavyweight veteran Gerald Washington.
      The American in 2017 was knocked out by Wilder, 37, and three years later he was hired as a sparring partner for Joshua, 33.

      And breaking down the blockbuster bout, Washington, 41, admitted he sees only one winner.
      He told ESNEWS: “I sparred everybody. I’m not trying to get hit by them, but I got wobbled by Wilder. I didn’t get wobbled by Joshua.
      “I got Wilder in that. I see Joshua getting caught.”
      Hearn previously revealed Joshua’s purse could be as much as £60m for the Middle East mega-fight.

      But AJ must first beat Dillian Whyte, 35, after the pair announced they will rematch on August 12 at the O2 Arena.
      Hearn told talkSPORT: “I don’t know how the Whyte fight goes, but we’ve been told categorically that the deal on the table is not the deal if he loses to Dillian Whyte.
      “They didn’t want him to fight Dillian Whyte. It was almost like, ‘Please, don’t fight Dillian Whyte.
      “You don’t need to. We’ve got this fight in December. But AJ was like, ‘No. I want to fight.’
      “If he wins on August 12, he’ll go into the Deontay Wilder fight with loads of momentum and again it’s just adding to that incredible CV.
      “I think he should be praised for the fact he wants to give you a real fight instead of just a tick-over fight until he fights Deontay Wilder – this is very dangerous.”

      Joshua’s history with Whyte, 35, dates back to their amateur days when he was beaten in a thriller.

      The two have continued to feud ever since and have finally got a deal over the line to decide their trilogy once and for all.
      But a defeat for Joshua, 33, would KO his blockbuster bout with Wilder, 37.

      British boxing fans have also been denied a mouthwatering domestic dust-up between Fury and former two-time unified champion Anthony Joshua.
      And YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, like many others, reckons boxing’s once premier division is now trailing the lighter weight classes.
