World Heavyweight King Anthony Joshua has take to Social Media to taunt his potential rivals as he steps up his plans for his next fight.
Joshua knows that he’s the one they all want to fight. Actually, need to fight. Deontay Wilder, Joseph Parker and Tyson Fury aren’t Box Office, whereas Joshua is.
In a surprise outburst during a TV interview with BoxNation, WBA & IBF Champion Joshua posted a few tweets in the direction of his three rivals.

Starting with New Zealander Joseph Parker, Joshua sent a tweet with a Kermit the Frog drinking a cup of tea GIF attached. The tweet read,
".@joeboxerparker Sips tea, continues to read tweets & refreshes email... Still No Offer."
Next on his hitlist was America Deontay Wilder, who outclassed Bermane Stiverne in a 1st Round KO on Saturday night. "A little word on the @BronzeBomber fight. Ready & waiting for the offer," was his tweet to arguably his toughest opponent.

And even his compatriot Tyson Fury was in the firing line as Joshua told the former champ to get back in shape. Joshua tweeted tweeted, "& @Tyson--Fury get fit you fat f*ck."
The expletive tweet to Fury prompted BoxNation interviewer Kugan Cassius to suggest we were now seeing the real Anthony Joshua. To which Joshua replied, "The real Anthony Joshua? Because of what? A swear word? Shut the fuck up."
Joshua said his team had a meeting with Wilder's but no firm offer was on the table
It was a little out of the ordinary from the affable champion, but he knows he has a big fight to arrange and sell, as well. Whoever he fights, the fans will flock to see, whether in England or Las Vegas. He’s a young boxer with a lot to prove, but he knows he holds all the cards, and has always stated he would fight anybody at any stage of his career.
Cassius asked him what he thought of Wilder’s suggestion that he was ducking from a unification fight with him. Joshua was calm in response. “Ducking? I fought for a world title in my 15th or 16th fight so that’s where im at. … If Deontay Wilder wants to call me out, no problem. I’ve already had a meeting about that, but the difference between me and him is, I don’t say what I say to please people. I mean what I say.”
Joshua told Fury to lose weight you fat fck in a tweet*
He also said of the meeting that Wilder’s team were showing interest but no firm interest with any rock solid dates and deals. But that Eddie Hearn was heading to America with the aim of targeting a fight with either Deontay Wilder or Joseph Parker.
One of those is the fight we all want to see. More so Wilder v Joshua, but Parker is a champion and it would be a fair opponent for his next fight if the Wilder fight didn’t come off.
The man they all want to fight
If that was to be the case and Fury was to shed his weight and regain his boxing licence a spring fight with Wilder could be on the cards if the Bronze Bomber was willing to risk his belt before fighting Joshua and his biggest payday.

There's only one champ: AJ!
I doubt if Wilder can beat AJ. Tyson Fury is a threat, but the way he treats his body I doubt even he'll beat Joshua. But in the Heavyweight Division, it only takes one punch.
Fury is a mess. How a "professional athlete" can let themselves get 7 stone overweight is mad.
Yeah Fury is a mess.
