Tyson Fury has mocked fellow heavyweight titleholder Anthony Joshua after A.J. claimed on social media to be one of the greats.
Joshua posted to Twitter a photo of himself during training, with the caption: “A great modern day fighter will be able to compete in any era.”
Fury wrote in response: “A great? My a–! You got ktfo by a chubby kid who had 3 weeks notice. You are a great at looking good on pics I must say whit whooo … xxx.”
Fury was referencing Joshua’s knockout loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. in 2019, which cost him his titles. Joshua won the rematch on points.

Fury and Joshua are expected to meet next year, with some suggestions that the first of two fights could be held in June. The site is still being worked out.
