However, the rivalry between the two has already caught fire. Both of them share a colossal beef and never leave a chance to mock each other. Recently, the ‘Gypsy King’ clapped back at ‘AJ’ for his remarks over him.

‘AJ’, who was in an interview with Sky News, took a dig at his foe, Fury.

More than anyone else, ‘AJ’ and the ‘Gypsy King’ are themselves hungry to compete for the undisputed title and roll out one of the most captivating shows for the fans.
