Tyson Fury claimed he offered Anthony Joshua a September fight
It came after reports emerged that Australian pair Jai Opetaia and Demsey McKean have been in talks to fight Fury Down Under.
Meanwhile, WBC champion Fury was also going back and forth with UFC champion Jon Jones over a crossover showdown.
So promoter Eddie Hearn admitted it was hard for Joshua, 33, to take Fury’s social media call-out seriously.
Hearn told iFL TV: “I spoke to AJ, AJ laughed and said, ‘Isn’t he fighting Jai Opetaia, or Demsey McKean, or Jon Jones?
“I said, ‘No. They’re telling us they want to fight you.’ I’ll go through the process and see how real this is. I believe George Warren.
“I think they’re in a really difficult spot. Tyson Fury, he wants big money fights and AJ is the money fight for him but no back and forth, just ‘we’ll talk’.”
Joshua returned with a victory in April over Jermaine Franklin, 29, following consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, 36.
And soon after, Hearn began leading talks for AJ to fight Deontay Wilder, 37, in Saudi Arabia in December.
It could see Joshua returning beforehand in an August interim bout, leaving Fury, 34, out of the equation.
Hearn said: “Right now, our plan remains the same, August and Deontay Wilder in December so we’ll see what happens in Saudi Arabia this week.
“That’s our plan, that’s what we’re moving forward with this week, if we can’t make that happen, we’ll 100 per cent look at the Tyson Fury fight.”

Elbows
Elbow strikes are very powerful because they inflict great pain. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. Directly means that your opponent is hit with your forearm. However, indirectly means that your elbow strike is delivered with another part or your arm.
Hands
Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. To do so, they raise their fists above their head and move them towards the direction of the attack. Then, they touch the attacker’s hand.
Knees
To absorb the impact of a punch to the stomach, abdomen, or chest, boxers should bend their knees. Knee strikes can be used to defend yourself.
Feet
Boxers should respond to being attacked by their opponent by standing back and delivering counter-attacks. This way, he can gain distance between himself and his opponent. A boxer must also maintain his balance when responding to an opponent’s counter-attack.
Stances
To box effectively, a boxer must establish a stance. The way he defends him will be dictated by his stance. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. Boxers have many options for stances. Here are some of the most common ones:

Combinations
Timing of each punch is crucial to the effectiveness of a combination. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.
Spare parts
Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. A sparring session is where a boxer trains both his mind and his body. The purpose of sparring is, in short, to learn how fight and not get hurt.
