ANTHONY JOSHUA has vowed to punch “dippy” Tyson Fury’s head in if the two finally settle their Great British feud in the ring.
AJ has been out of the ring since September 2024 after he was knocked out by Daniel Dubois at Wembley.

Three months later, Fury was beaten by Oleksandr Usyk for the second time sparking his latest retirement in January.
But Fury has teased a comeback next year while Joshua is also looking to return in the first quarter of 2026.
AJ took to Instagram to hail Joseph Parker – a friend of Fury’s who he beat in 2018 – and Fabio Wardley for their October 25 bout.
But he largely used the praise to hit out at the Gypsy King.
Joshua wrote: “I’m proud of @joeboxerparker even tho he is a competitor. Real recognises real.
“He’s in the game to fight whoever, whenever and that’s the DNA of a real general. Unlike his dippy mate @tysonfury.
“I would discect his career/record in minutes but I’ll leave that for a potential gloves are off if he ever comes back and fights Big Femi.
“@fabiowardley respect to you aswell. Bro was working in recruitment helping your dad get a cuttla years ago.
“Let that be a testament to God rooting in one’s favour and a statement to show, nothing is impossible (if you can have a scrap haha.)
“To my supporters, I’ll be back to lace up my boots and put on my gloves sooner than later, hopefully punching Fury’s head in and dancing around his flicker jab with ease.”
Joshua, 35, was in shock talks to fight YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, 28, in his return bout.
But Paul has since announced a November 14 exhibition against lightweight champion Gervonta Davis, 30, who is FIVE STONE lighter.
So promoter Eddie Hearn revealed AJ is set for a warm-up bout before eyeing Fury, 37, later in the year.
And he has been in advanced talks for a fight in Ghana to mark his return to the ring.
