World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has branded Anthony Joshua a "bum" and dismissed rumours that the pair could face off in the near future.
Talking to the Boxing Scene website, the 27-year-old also dismissed the Olympic gold medallist as a "15-fight novice".
"Anthony Joshua is a bum really," said Fury. "He is what you call a weightlifter, a bodybuilder. I'm the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world—who beat the man who everyone said couldn't be beat.
"If you wouldn't mind, please don't mention a bum, 15-fight novice in the same breath as me. I'm best fighter in the world. I would take him apart like a lion taking a gazelle's throat out."
Fury went on to brand Joshua's rumoured opponent Deontay Wilder a "skinny pussy".
"Wilder would knock Anthony Joshua out, but he's a pussy," he added. "He is what he is. He's a skinny pussy. They are all pussies.
"I'm the man, the only man. I'm best fighter in the world, the best fighter on the planet — all weights. Line them all up and I will ravish them. They are all pussies. All of the heavyweights are bitches."
Fury recently admitted that he has "no idea" who his next opponent will be.
