Thursday, June 27, 2024 - Former Boxing Heavyweight champions Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua exchanged verbals on FaceTime as they were brought together by Saudi Arabian sports promoter, Turki Alalshikh.
The moment happened after it was announced on Wednesday,
June 26 that Joshua and Daniel Dubois will headline a bumper card at Wembley
Stadium on September 21.
AJ will clash against his fellow British boxer for the IBF
heavyweight world title, which was vacated this week by Oleksandr Usyk.
Despite preparing for Dubois, Joshua is still keeping one
eye on a match with Fury.. Joshua bas lost three times in his career while Fury
has lost just once.
Fury last fell to defeat against Usyk in their undisputed
heavyweight title clash in May but a rematch is set for December 21.
Should Fury win, Joshua is tipped to be his next opponent as
a the FaceTime with Alalshikh proved.
"Champ, finish the job
on 21 of December and look who's waiting for you," the Saudi boxing chief
said to Fury on the phone next to Joshua.
"I'm waiting for
you!" said Joshua, before 'The Gypsy King' insisted: "I'll get the
f****** job done [against Usyk]!"
Even if Fury was to lose, Joshua insisted that he's waiting
for him, something that was echoed by Alalshikh, who said he'd arrange the
fight for the first or second quarter of 2025.
"This can't wait,"
Joshua added with a grin and pointing to his right fist, with Fury replying:
"I've got two of them as well!"
AJ then implied he should use his fists instead of his
mouth, but Fury cheekily responded: "I'll use them both on your face you
big ugly dosser!"
Joshua also jokingly said his fellow heavyweight looked like
a tomato and should put on sunscreen.
"I've got to get Usyk
dealt with first, again," said Fury, although AJ replied: "Again? You
ain't dealt with him once yet."
Alalshikh then reminded 'The Gypsy King' of the task on
December 21, with victory potentially setting up a historic all-British fight.
