Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are the two biggest heavyweights in the modern era. The British boxing pair has accrued immense fame and attention over the past few years and their rift also has increased with time. That said, Joshua and Fury haven’t spared a single chance to hit out at each other in public and they still continue to do so.

A few months back, news of an undisputed title fight between the two surfaced over the internet, but it collapsed because of some external factors. However, their rivalry has only escalated. Recently, ‘The Gypsy King’, in an interaction with The Overlap, opened up on the chats and calls he had with Anthony Joshua.

He said, “I have spoken to him lots of times. We used to phone each other. He don’t answer the phone to me no more. While I was in America recently he was Instagramming me voice messages, ‘I’m gonna smash your face in.'” (h/t Michael Benson)
