<h1><span style="color:#451313;">The build up to a Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua world heavyweight boxing title unification begins as Tyson Fury brands Anthony Joshua a &#8216;pumped up weightlifter&#8217;</span></h1>
<p>Fury, the WBA and WBO heavyweight champion, defeated Klitschko on points in Germany last November and will go up against the Ukrainian again on July 9 at the MEN Arena.</p>
<p class="imageCaption">Anticipation is also growing around a potential all-British unification fight with Joshua, who clinched the IBF title on Saturday after beating defending champion Charles Martin at London&#8217;s O2 Arena.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-8882" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/tyson-fury-size-xxlarge-letterbox.jpg" alt="tyson-fury-size-xxlarge-letterbox" width="670" height="449" />Tyson Fury, pictured, has branded Anthony Joshua a &#8216;pumped up weightlifter&#8217;Fury called out Joshua immediately after the victory, labelling him &#8220;slow&#8221; and &#8220;ponderous&#8221; on Twitter, and he continued his war of words with the London 2012 gold medallist on Wednesday.<br />
&#8220;I thought he looked like a pumped up weightlifter, out of his mind on drugs,&#8221; Fury said of Joshua&#8217;s win.<br />
&#8220;He fought an American who came to lay down and had about as much fight in him as this glass of water there, zero.&#8221;<br />
Fury continued: &#8220;The British public is thrilled by bums. You might be brainwashed by a p***y like Eddie Hearn.<br />
&#8220;The fight I have to worry about is Wlad because he is 10 times the man of any of them world champions. You don&#8217;t hold a belt for 10 years if you&#8217;re no good.<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s no good talking about these bums until I get past him. Providing I do that I&#8217;ll fight all of them. I&#8217;ll take on the British first because they&#8217;re the easiest. I&#8217;ll leave the Americans until afterwards.&#8221;<br />
Fury&#8217;s team had looked into staging the rematch against Klitschko at a football stadium, including Old Trafford, but the date was too close to the end of the Barclays Premier League season.<br />
Fighting on home turf, however, gives Fury a significant advantage and he is confident he will see off Klitschko again.<br />
&#8220;If he doesn&#8217;t do something different he is on for another hiding,&#8221; Fury said.<br />
&#8220;He has to come and try and fight. He couldn&#8217;t fight me first time with his A-game so he won&#8217;t on his second.<br />
&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t very important for the fight to be in Manchester but it was very important that I wasn&#8217;t going back to Germany.<br />
&#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t go back, end of. I wouldn&#8217;t get a decision. It&#8217;s in England. Wherever it was I wasn&#8217;t bothered.<br />
&#8220;As I am the gypsy king I don&#8217;t have a hometown. Wherever I want to go is my hometown.&#8221;</p>

<p>Towards the end of another lively press conference, Fury&#8217;s father John took the microphone to accuse the British public and press of &#8220;racism&#8221; and disrespect towards his son.<br />
&#8220;He&#8217;s got about as much respect for you lot as you have for him,&#8221; John Fury said.<br />
&#8220;You should get behind a home-grown Manchester man and give him the credit he deserves.<br />
&#8220;He&#8217;s&#8217; the best heavyweight in the world. If I had Anthony Joshua I&#8217;d wrap him up in cotton wool. He&#8217;s laying golden eggs at the moment because give the public a con job and they&#8217;ll get right behind it.<br />
&#8220;Tyson Fury is the best thing ever to come off these shores and has he got any respect? Where&#8217;s my son? Nowhere. Do you know why? Because it&#8217;s racism.<br />
&#8220;He&#8217;s from the wrong background. If he was out of Peckham estate he would be having tea with the Queen-mother and being took round in an open-top bus.&#8221;</p>

<h2><strong>Joshua Anthony<br />
&#8220;World heavyweight title challenger Anthony Joshua has branded divisional kingpin Tyson Fury &#8216;a clown'&#8221;</strong></h2>
<p>WBA Super and WBO world champion Fury has previously outlined his intention to &#8216;bladder&#8217; the Olympic champion in a huge domestic clash in the future and Joshua, who faces IBF champion Charles Martin live on <em>Sky Sports Box Office</em> on April 9, has hit back.</p>
<p>In an exclusive interview with <em>Sky Sports</em>, Joshua (15-0-KO15) said of Fury: &#8220;I think he&#8217;s a bit of a clown, to be honest. I find him a bit irritating but that&#8217;s him. If that works for him, so be it.</p>
