ANTHONY JOSHUA has told Tyson Fury to “stop being a commentator” and get back to being a “fighter”.
Fury is continuing to make his way back into boxing after two-and-a-half years out and talks of a British blockbuster against Joshua continue to rumble on.
And while there appears to be more chance of AJ fighting Deontay Wilder than Fury in the immediate future, it’s clear the WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF champ fancies a scrap against the ‘Gypsy King”.
But first Joshua wants Fury to focus on getting some “hunger in the belly”.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Joshua said: “After the Klitschko fight that [Fury] was the guy I called out to challenge me and I still mention it now.
“There’s no denying Tyson knows how to box, he’s a good boxer, but until he makes his return to the ring, I can’t sit down and wait in my home waiting for Tyson Fury‘s return.
“I’ve got my career, my goals in between so I’m focusing on what I’m doing.
“When he gets his things together the boxing fans await his return.

“What Fury does with his career has nothing to do with me, he just has to get himself back into action and worry about what he does rather than sit at home commentating on my fights.
“He should be getting a bit of motivation, a bit of hunger in the belly, get training and get into the ring.

“Realistically people don t want to see a commentator, they want to see a fighter fight.”
Fury was as far from impressed with what he was watching during Joshua’s unification fight against Joseph Parker, and took to Instagram to let everybody know.
Fury released eight Instagram stories videos throughout and after Joshua’s points win over Parker on Saturday night.
The 29-year-old said: “They’re (Joshua and Parker) a pair of wooden tops, a pair of bums.
“No panache, no flair, no show – waste of money. Charging £20 a pop for this, what a joke”.
Fury added: “AJ is no superstar – I am the man. I could beat AJ in my comeback.
“He’s not good enough to be my sparring partner.”
