Anthony Joshua has denied that he’s been offered a fight by Joseph Parker or anyone else and told Tyson Fury to ‘get fit you fat f***’.
Joshua said he has yet to receive any offers for his next fight despite Parker’s claims that he was delaying a potential heavyweight unification bout.
‘Sips tea, continues to read tweets & refreshes email… Still No Offer’, he tweeted in response to WBO world champion Joseph Parker, who claimed he has wanted a unification bout against Joshua for a long time.

The Brit also took aim at Fury, who admitted earlier this week that he was as ‘fat as a pig, and as hairy as an animal’ but promised to be in shape by March.

Fury has ballooned up in weight during his 23-month hiatus and was spotted showing off his chunkier frame to former opponent Chisora last week.
Excitement has been brewing for several months about a potential all-British mega fight between Fury and Joshua.

‘Two unbeaten heavyweights, one unified champion, one lineal champion, both over six foot six tall, both over 18 stone,’ Fury said.
‘One nice guy, one bad man — it is what it is. I think the public are going to relish the thoughts of making this fight happen. I think next summer is ideal and realistic. I’m not going to do it in February or March, because obviously I’m not in shape.
‘But I’ll be back in shape by the time of March, April comes around. Back ripped, looking sexy as ever. A couple of sun beds, a haircut and a shave, I’ll be back to my old self.’
