ANTHONY JOSHUA has taken aim at Tyson Fury during an impromptu FaceTime with his arch rival.
AJ was brought in contact with the Gypsy King on Wednesday, just hours after his September bout with Daniel Dubois was announced.

Joshua, 34, had hardly finished mocking Fury and calling him an “idiot” for his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last month when Saudi boxing kingpin Turki Alalshikh decided to speak to the former WBC heavyweight champion over FaceTime.
And when Alalshikh told Fury the Watford warrior was after him, he didn’t mince his words.
Joshua said: “I am waiting for you, I am waiting for you.”
Fury, 35, immediately responded: “Come on, I’ll get this job done. I’ll get this f***ing job done.”
Amid laughter, Joshua sternly replied: “No, you won’t – but either way, I’ll be waiting for you.”
Fury, who will try to defeat Usyk for a second time on December 21, responded in a challenging tone: “I’ll get the job done.”
Joshua re-emphasised the gold household ware awaiting the Wythenshawe warrior, saying: “Either way, I’ll be waiting for you.”
“Look,” Fury said in response to Alalshikh’s excitement over their long-pending UK fight. “I’ll get that done first and then I’ll fight him over there.”

Joshua was fed up with Fury’s repeated vows to avenge his first professional defeat, and said: “Stop using that (pointing to mouth) and use these fist raises).”
Fury, who is already back in the gym preparing for Usyk, replied: “I’ll use them both on your face, you big ugly dolt.”
“Shut up,” former two-time unified champion Joshua replied. “You look like a tomato.
“Put some sunscreen on, idiot. You look like a tomato.”
Alalshikh began by ending the call by promising to meet Fury on Thursday, to which AJ replied: “Oi, I’ll see you tomorrow too.”
“I will wait here too.”
Boxing fans around the world have been waiting for a decade for a UK fight between Joshua and Fury.
How AJ made his way to the top
Anthony Joshua made several attempts to reach the top of the world, only to be knocked down.
And AJ admitted he is rooting for Fury to get his revenge on Usyk when they clash in Riyadh at the end of the year.
“I want him to win the rematch,” he said.
“I don’t care now if he wins or loses. I just want to fight him.”
“It’s been a long cycle. Fury avoids a lot of people, he doesn’t fight a lot of people, not a lot of top level guys.

“He needs to step up and fight me and stop wasting my time.
“I don’t want to wait until I’m 40, 41, 42 to fight him.”
