ANTHONY JOSHUA labelled Tyson Fury an 'idiot' and claimed 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 (above right, with Joshua) for the IBF heavyweight title on September 21 at Wembley.
But Joshua, 34, is still eyeing up a showdown with Fury to settle their longrunning 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 (Fury on the receiving end of a punch, top).
