Anthony Joshua Sticks Middle Finger Up At Fans Chanting 'There's Only One Tyson Fury'

Anthony Joshua Sticks Middle Finger Up At Fans Chanting 'There's Only One Tyson Fury'

The world heavyweight champion took it pretty well to be fair to him...

Anthony Joshua reacted to some Tyson Fury fans giving him a bit of stick by flipping the bird.

While on holiday in Marbella, WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion Joshua was subjected to "There's only one Tyson Fury!" chants from a group as he took a picture with a couple of fans.

Walking through with his bodyguards and entourage, Joshua was seen laughing throughout but did playfully throw up his middle finger in response.

The pair of British world champions have agreed terms for a future two-fight deal, though there are plenty of further details that need to be ironed out before they lock horns.

For instance, WBC champion Fury still has a rematch with Deontay Wilder on the horizon, as well as being slated to face Dillian Whyte - who has been the long-time mandatory challenger.

As for Joshua, he has scheduled bouts against both Kubrat Pulev and Oleksandr Usyk, the IBF and WBO mandatory challengers respectively.

For the time-being, the one place where we will see Joshua and Fury go at it is inside the Octagon in the virtual world of EA Sports UFC 4.

Both were announced as playable characters in the upcoming game and can be accessed by those who pre-order the game ahead of its August 14 release.

"Fighting is what I have dedicated myself to. No matter the stage or opponent, I'll always back myself," Joshua said, reflecting on his appearance in the game.

"My character in UFC 4 will be no different. I'm looking forward to picking up the controller and dominating UFC 4."

"I have a lot of respect for the UFC fighters but I'm the greatest fighter in the world," Fury added.

"It's going to be exciting to watch players use my boxing skills to outshine the most talented MMA fighters in UFC 4."
