Joshua set up a potential fight with Fury by knocking out Pulev but seemed unsure about fighting his fellow world champion
Tyson Fury tells Anthony Joshua he "s*** himself" in X-rated response to Kubrat Pulev win
Tyson Fury has vowed to knock out Anthony Joshua inside three rounds after accusing him of ducking their £200million mega-fight.
Joshua set up a potential undisputed clash with fellow heavyweight world champion Fury by knocking out Kubrat Pulev in the ninth round on Saturday night.
But when he was asked about a future fight with his fellow countryman, Joshua appeared hesitant to commit.
And Fury took full advantage by saying: "Well there you go everyone, Anthony Joshua s*** himself on live TV.
"He was asked if he wanted the fight and he went round the bushes and put his a*** on the edge.

'I want the fight. I want the fight next, I'll knock him out inside three rounds, he's a big bum dosser. I can't wait to knock him out."
Joshua was asked if he wanted to face Fury in 2021 but took his time to confirm his interest.
Eventually he said: "I'm ready for anything; less talk, more action.
"I started in 2013 and have been chasing all the belts and handling all the mandatories. Whoever has the belt I will compete with them. If that’s Tyson Fury, then let it be Tyson Fury."
It was left to his promoter Eddie Hearn to confirm he will resume talks over the fight this week.

Roberto Firmino says Liverpool will dedicate the trophy to injured team-mate Virgil van Dijk – if they win the Premier League title again this season .

But victory at Craven Cottage could take them back to the top of the table with a fighting chance of staying ahead of an ever more competitive chasing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we are experiencing now , and what we experienced at the end of last season , is different to any situation we have been through before .
The healthiest team , in all ways , and the most consistent side could well be the one with the best chance of being champion .

Winning the Premier League twice in a row would be fulfilling a dream since I came here .
First it was the Champions League , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want another one .
Everybody is the same.
