There’s no bad blood between Anthony Joshua and I… I’d take him for a jam sandwich if I could, says Tyson Fury
TYSON FURY insisted there is no bad blood between him and Anthony Joshua – and would be willing to share a jam sandwich to prove it.
The two have spent years rivalling each other building towards a Battle of Britain bout.
And AJ revealed he will use Fury’s decade of trash-talking to fuel a spiteful performance over his heavyweight rival.
But the maverick Gypsy King played down a feud with Joshua and said: “What, because I called him a sausage?
“Has he ever said anything bad to me that’s personal, or me to him?
“If he was here now, we’d go for a beer and a jam sandwich, or I’d take him out for fish and chips.
“I’d take him back to my house to meet my kids and take a picture. What, you think there’s bad blood between two boxers? Behave yourself.”
Joshua, 34, once revealed Fury, 35, would randomly ring him up and claim he was going to knock him out.
And the Gypsy King has taken exception to AJ’s shock bromance with his dad John in the past.
So Fury has never held back when it comes to aiming a verbal jab at his great British rival.

And Joshua said on The Jonathan Ross Show: “This is one of my rivals, this is someone I want to compete with one day.
“So everything he says, I’ve got it all stored in the back of my memory and when the fight happens, I’m going to use it as a lot of fuel.”
Joshua is coming off the back of four wins on the bounce, most recently knocking out MMA star Francis Ngannou in March.
Ngannou, 37, dropped Fury in October on his boxing debut only to lose a controversial split-decision.
Fury now prepares for a potential double header against Oleksandr Usyk, 37, starting with their May 18 unification bout.
And AJ will be waiting in the wings with the hopes of facing Fury if he prevails with the heavyweight crown.
