That included super-lightweight champion Josh Taylor, 30, who faces Jose Ramirez, 28, in an undisputed title fight on May 22.
And heavyweight contender Michael Hunter was also mixing in with Fury and gave an insight into the camp.
In a video shared on social media, the unbeaten Gypsy King can be seen dancing in orange pants with Hunter recording.
The American could one day end up fighting the winner between Fury, 32, and Joshua, 31.
Hunter, 32, is lined up for an IBF final eliminator against Filip Hrgovic, 28, with the pair in talks.
The victor will then be mandated for whoever owns the title after Fury and AJ fight.
Both heavyweight champions signed to fight in March with opposing teams left to agree a date and venue.
Promoter Eddie Hearn has maintained AJ and Fury have both agreed a site deal, believed to be in Saudi Arabia on August 7.

How Canelo and Saunders compare ahead of their bout

Hearn and Fury came face-to-face in Texas as the Gypsy King flew out to support Billy Joe Saunders, 31, who fights Canelo Alvarez, 30, on Saturday.
The two-time champion was a guest on Hearn’s podcast and revealed how he predicts he will beat Joshua.
Fury said: “I’ll even tell you what punch it’s going to be, I’ll even give my game plan away; it will be a check left hook straight to the temple.
“His legs will go and he’ll fall on his face. He may get back up and I’ll knock him out with the overhand right. Goodnight. Enough said.”

TYSON FURY has revealed the punch combination he thinks will knock out Anthony Joshua. But while in conversation with Eddie Hearn, the promoter offered his prediction of a ninth-round stoppage for AJ.
Tyson Fury has revealed the combination he thinks will knock out Anthony Joshua

Fury was on Hearn’s BBC ‘No Passion, No Point’ podcast, where he described how he envisions beating Joshua.
He said: “I will cut Anthony Joshua down like a hot knife through cheese. That’s how easy it’s going to be. That’s how easy it’s going to be.
“When he gets cracked with all them muscles right in the jaw, it’s like getting a boiled egg with a split down the middle, it can’t be repaired.
“He will go. I’ll even tell you what punch it’s going to be, I’ll even give my game plan away; it will be a check left hook straight to the temple.
“His legs will go and he’ll fall on his face. He may get back up and I’ll knock him out with the overhand right. Goodnight. Enough said.”
Hearn, who has promoted Joshua since the heavyweight’s 2013 debut, unsurprisingly hit back and backed his golden goose.
He responded: “OK. I think he stops you in nine rounds.”
The Gypsy King, 32, then gave long-time rival Joshua, 31, praise but insisted the difference between them is he is motivated by winning, not money.

Fury said: “There’s only one difference, he’s a great champion, two-time champion and all that, he’s knocked out loads of people.
“But the real difference here in men is, he’s a businessman and I’m a f***ing spartan.
“I don’t care about money, I’m a spartan, I live to fight. I don’t care about any other thing in boxing, I don’t want to be a billionaire.
“I don’t want to be a businessman, I’m not interested. The only thing that I love is a fight.”
Both heavyweight champions signed to fight in March with promoters left to agree a date and venue.
Hearn has maintained AJ and Fury have both agreed a site deal, believed to be in Saudi Arabia on August 7.
It will promise, for the first time in heavyweight history, that all four WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO titles will be at stake as well as British bragging rights.

The Brit is a general 9/2 underdog with the bookies against the world’s pound-for-pound king – but Chisora is confident he has what it takes to win.
War posted a picture of his bet slip online.
It showed a 10,000 euro bet on Saunders to win with the potential winnings showing as 62,000 euros.
The bet comes just hours after Chris Eubank Jr lumped on £10k of his own but he backed Canelo instead.
Eubank tweeted: “The bet has been placed! Billy Schmoe Saunders to get cleaned out by Canelo Alvarez this Saturday.
“Oh… & the 10k I stand to win will all go to charity.”
Eubank, 31, was beaten by Saunders, also 31, in 2014 but the pair have feuded ever since.
Initially, the son of British boxing legend Chris Sr revealed he wanted his former opponent to win, setting up a blockbuster rematch.
But after some thinking time Eubank, who beat Marcus Morrison on his ring return, made a U-turn.

The eagerly-anticipated super-middleweight title unification bout between Saunders and pound-for-pound king Canelo was in danger of falling through due to a row over the size of the ring.
A replacement is being flown out for Saunders, just in case.
The pair were initially set to trade blows in a 20ft ring at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium, which Team Saunders thought gave Mexican mauler Canelo an unfair advantage.
Saunders, along with his best mate and WBC king Fury, wanted a 22ft ring, at least.
But now there appears to have been a compromise reached.
Saunders shared a video on his social media last night, saying: “Hey all, just wanted to say, I’m pleased the issue is sorted because obviously you can see I tagged Eddie Hearn and Canelo in the last video.
“The ring is not a problem, so thumbs are up, chilling back watching a few films, Eddie, get the ring in mate.”
Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn was seemingly worried enough to have fellow Brit John Ryder ready to step in for Saunders.
Boxing News reported that Ryder, who lost to Saunders in 2013, ‘is flying out to Texas and has declared he is willing to jump in and face Canelo’.
They add: “Ryder was training for a fight in June and set to fly out for promotional work regardless.”

ANTHONY JOSHUA reckons Tyson Fury is just jealous of his six-pack ahead of their Saudi undisputed summer showdown.The 6ft 9in Gypsy King likes to accuse AJ of being more of a bodybuilder than a boxer, because the Watford ace is always shredded with muscles.

And WBC champ Fury, who ballooned up to 28st while banned from the sport over doping and battling mental health problems, claims he has been downing 12-pints-a-day in camp and will quit their clash if he has not won inside three rounds.
But Watford’s WBA, IBF and WBO king believes his undefeated curvaceous rival would love the chiselled look, if his genes would allow it.
Speaking on Troy Deeney’s podcast, AJ said: “The man will talk about drinking pints and say he’s not interested but yet he wants to look chiselled.
“He’s training the hardest he’s ever trained, he’s the skinniest he’s ever been. He wants to have a good body, he wants to be well prepared.
“But if I have a good body, chiselled and trained, I’m a bodybuilder.
“Tyson Fury would do the exact same thing if he could. It’s all psychological warfare. What they call me is what they want to be.
“He wants to have a six-pack, that’s why he’s training as hard as he’s training right now, why he looks so chiselled, why he’s in America training.
“It’s just psychological warfare to make me not want to believe in myself.

“However, I understand what this is all about and everything he says, I am everything he wants to be.”
Joshua, 31, also believes Fury, 32, is trash talking to try to convince himself that their upcoming battle will be an easy night’s work.
He added: “The reason why he’s saying he’s drinking 12 pints is because he knows he could never do that to fight me, he knows what type of fighter I am.
“If I told you, ‘I’m drinking 12 pints, I ain’t worried about them,’ you know I’m running 12 miles more than I’ve already run before, you know I’m not drinking 12 pints.
“You know that’s how serious this challenge is, you want to make it seem so small, that’s how big you know this challenge is gonna be.
“He knows. I don’t need to talk about Tyson Fury, I don’t need to belittle the man.
“But you’re talking to me, I know I’m the man of this division and I will be for a long time.”

The two Americans drew that – and Jones Jr is seemingly happy to carry on fighting some of the sport’s true legends.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the 52-year-old said: “I was told the other day that Joe Calzaghe is thinking about coming back and wants me to fight him.
“Then Tommy Hearns wants to do a five-round fight! Then Shannon Briggs.
“They all want to beat up poor old Roy. Why? I don’t know why. I don’t have anything to prove but I still love boxing.”
Calzaghe’s last pro fight was actually a unanimous points win against Jones Jr in 2008.
At the age of 49, if the two fought again they would have a combined age of 101.
The news comes just days after Brit boxing legend Lennox Lewis confirmed he IS in talks to fight Mike Tyson again.
Lewis was the victor when the two former heavyweight champs fought in 2002, knocking out the ‘Baddest Man On The Planet’ in the eighth round.

He then claimed he would make his return in September against Lewis.
Lewis, 55, responded while commentating on Andy Ruiz Jr’s return fight on FOX Sports and admitted there is communication with Tyson’s camp.
He said: “Not yet, but soon — maybe. We’re talking.”
Lewis himself retired just one fight and 12 months after beating Iron Mike.
