Tyson Fury says he "could drink 14 pints" and still give Anthony Joshua a "hiding" inside the ring.

This week, 'The Gypsy King' has been speaking about a possible bout against AJ.

Fury, who claims to be drinking 12 pints of Stella a day having stopped training, also says he does not see himself fighting in the UK ever again. The 32-year-old also poured cold water over fighting Joshua in the near future.

Speaking to iFL TV, he said: "Whatever they say is very unimportant to me because, until I have a fight date and a hell-of-a-lot of money in my pocket, there is no fight.

"Will I be fighting Joshua in the next ten minutes? No. Do I think the fight will eventually happen? Yes, it has to happen. Do I think it is next or imminent? No.

"I am not going to hold my breath for it, that's for sure."

Fury continued, saying: "I am not going to put all my eggs in one basket because I have been guilty of doing that before and, when the fight doesn't happen, that is when I end up in a massive depression and feel like killing myself.

"I am not going to say 'it is definitely happening in June or July.' I have stopped training at the moment, I am on holiday.

"I am drinking anything between eight, ten, 12 pints of lager a day, at the minute. But I am not eating so I am getting my calories through alcohol.

"I have trained and trained and trained with no progress so I am now a man of leisure."

Later on, during MTK Global's Fight Night in Bolton, Fury suggested he could beat Joshua after 14 pints.

"I could drink 14 pints and still give AJ a hiding." he said on iFL TV.

"I'm not training anymore. I only need six/seven weeks anyway for these bums.

"I don't need no big, great sparring partners for a bodybuilding type of guy, I just need the local binmen."
