Anthony Joshua has continued his war of words with heavyweight rival Tyson Fury.

Fury is in camp for a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk on December 21 in Saudi Arabia having lost out on the chance to become the undisputed champion when they fought for the first time back in May.

In a video shared by Ring Magazine, Joshua can be seen sitting with Saudi’s Turki Alalshikh while on a video call with Fury that soon turned into an exchange of gentle insults.

Fury says he’ll fight ‘AJ’ once he’s dealt with Usyk ‘again’ to which Joshua replied ‘you’ve not dealt with him once yet’ and ‘at least I’m not delusional’ for thinking he beat the Ukrainian.

‘The Gypsy King’ had previously caused a stir by claiming the Usyk fight was ‘easy’ and that he only lost a few rounds;

“It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. A lot easier. People say he’s a hard man to hit. I was lighting him up with three and four punch combinations and laughing at him.

I’ve watched the fight back lots of times and still got the same answer, I thought I won the fight … I thought I boxed the head right off him for most of the rounds. He landed a good punch in round 8 and busted my nose and in round 9 he had a 10-8 round so that’s two and I give him round 10, but other than that I didn’t give him any other rounds. I give him 4 rounds in the fight.”

If Fury does get his revenge in December and Joshua comes through his next fight against Daniel Dubois, the two could finally meet in another undisputed clash next year.
