ANTHONY JOSHUA has labelled Tyson Fury an 'idiot' and claimed that he's 'disrespecting the sport' as he launched into his British rival.
AJ will get a chance to become a three-time world champion when he faces Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title on September 21 at Wembley.
But Joshua, 34, is still eyeing up a showdown with Fury to settle their long-running feud next year after multiple failed attempts to get a fight on.
Fury, 35, is set to face Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch on December 21 after he suffered his first career defeat against the Ukrainian last month.
But Joshua hit out at Fury for how he acted in the build-up to that fight. He said: "I'm glad Fury isn't the undisputed champion.
I just think he's an idiot.
"If it was someone else I might think it was a shame. I've always said he's an idiot, he's very disrespectful.
