Tyson Fury has hit back at Anthony Joshua‘s remarks made to Sport360° that the retired boxer needed to be put in his place like a “dog with a tail hanging between his legs”.

Joshua, who was speaking on Monday at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, said he had to bite back after the ‘Gypsy King’ penned a Twitter tirade at the heavyweight champion – saying that he would “deal with Anthony Joshua in the same fashion” he dismissed Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.

It came days after Joshua called Fury “fat”, in response to Fury’s comment that he was “useless” – with much speculation about how he is plotting a comeback to the ring to take on AJ in 2018.

Joshua admitted that he does not normally get tempted into engaging in a war of words on social media – but felt like he had to have his say, which he cleared up in our interview below.

Fury then responded, saying: “10 men like you AJ couldn’t make me put my tail between my legs I’d die first! Punk.”
