Tyson Fury has added fuel to the fire ahead of his highly-anticipated heavyweight clash with Anthony Joshua after mocking his rival on Twitter.

While no date has yet been set, Joshua and Fury are set to unite the heavyweight division in 2021 when they go head-to-head later this year.

Both men are working towards a unification fight, and Joshua shared pictures of himself training on Twitter, along with the caption ‘A great modern day fighter will be able to compete in any era.’

Fury responded to his fellow heavyweight champion in typically brash fashion on Thursday

However, this was picked up on by his fellow Brit, who decided to respond in typically inflammatory fashion, mocking his rival for the post, as well as reminding him of his shock defeat by Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019.

Joshua lost his undefeated record to the Mexican in June that year, before regaining his titles in a rematch in December. 

But commenting on the post, Fury wrote: ‘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.’

While the fight is one of the most highly-anticipated in the history of UK boxing, it will not take place in Britain. 

There was only ever a slim chance of the clash happening in this country in late May or early June because of the financial necessity of a full crowd, but promoter Eddie Hearn has now confirmed that the increased restrictions have effectively removed the possibility altogether.

The Middle East remains the most likely destination, with approaches received from Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Qatar, and there is further interest in the US and China.
