The Gypsy King was speaking to the press ahead of his bout with Usyk, but has been unable to ignore fellow Brit Joshua.

AJ has been on the comeback trail since consecutive defeats to Usyk and his convincing display against Francis Ngannou last month has left fans excited by the prospect of an all-Briitsh bout between him and Fury.

After Fury previewed his clash with Usyk, he was asked whether he was worried by Joshua’s resurgent form and said: “I just want to say, AJ is a big fat sausage.”

The Gypsy King then corrected himself to say: “Should I say a big useless sausage?” Before turning to the camera and saying: “AJ, I know it’s been rattling your cage, you big useless sausage.

“When I beat this guy [Usyk] who beat you twice I think, get up!”

Fury turned his attentions to calling out AJ after making some bold claims about his ability to beat Usyk, who holds the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles.

A slimmed-down Gypsy King said: “I think if I didn’t train at all for this camp, I just come in at 25 stone and sank maybe 15 pints of Peroni beforehand, then the next day, going there, what’s he gonna do? Do you even jab me around?

“Take nothing away from him, but he couldn’t do anything with Derek Chisora.

“We all saw that fight and let’s not be deluded with it, it was a 50-50 fight, it could have gone either way!

“So not unless he’s come on at 38, 39 years old in the last two years leaps and bounds. This guy’s gonna do me in a round? I don’t think so. 

“If I’m going in for a real ding-dong, I’ll need at least 15 pints of Peroni. At least!”

He also made the claim that Usyk was “too small” to beat elite heavyweights such as himself.

He said: “You can beat the average big ones but you can’t beat the elite big ones.

“Size is what really matters and we have weight divisions for a reason.”

Fury and Usyk were originally meant to do battle on February 17 but the fight was postponed after Fury suffered a “freak cut” in sparring ahead of the bash.
