Anthony Joshua has hit back at Tyson Fury’s jibes as talk of a potential undisputed title fight between them continues to heat up.
WBC champion Fury, who dethroned Deontay Wilder last month, went on UK morning TV in the aftermath and declared AJ’s WBA, IBF & WBO belts are merely his ‘leftovers’.
Fury previously said: “I’ve already been the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world when I beat Klitschko.
“So, as far as I’m concerned, Anthony Joshua’s only got my leftovers.
“I never lost those belts, I had to vacate them for mental health problems. They’re my belts.
“How can you claim to be a champion when you haven’t beat the champion?”
Joshua has now hit back by questioning the depth of his rival’s record.
AJ told Land Rover: “The fight can happen when Tyson Fury gets past his third match with Deontay Wilder and when I get past my next match with Kubrat Pulev.
“If Fury wants that fight to happen, he’ll make it happen.
“We’re keen, we always like to put on big events and cater for the boxing community so that’s something that we’ll take really seriously.
“He’s had two good fights in his career in my opinion, against Klitschko and Wilder and he’s managed to win them both so he’s on a high right now.
“But he has to be careful what he wishes for because the young gunners are coming up and we’ll definitely take that Tyson Fury challenge with both hands.”
