Fury takes aim at 'proper sausage' Joshua before heavyweight showdown
Tyson Fury has described Anthony Joshua as a "proper sausage" who "won't be able to survive" when the pair finally meet.
The British duo are set to contest their long-awaited domestic heavyweight rivalry in one of the year's most anticipated bouts.
After Fury defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov last month, Joshua spurned the chance to face off in the ring, provoking his ire.
Now, 'The Gypsy King' has lashed out at his foe, and insists he has no chance to defeat him when they eventually cross paths.

"If I fought like a nugget and got knocked all over the place, they'd have been jumping up and down for a fight," he said on FurociTV.
"But because I just took out a world-ranked contender, they weren't so keen. All of a sudden, they need another fight in-between.
"Joshua bottled it. He choked. He didn't say three words. We're finally signed and he doesn't have anything to say? Proper sausage.
"Everyone expects me to beat him heavily. I'll knock him out for sure. He can't and won't be able to survive. I'm a better boxer."
Is Fury the overwhelming favourite?

Tyson Fury has always been a man with the gift of the gab, but his ironclad conviction that he can defeat Anthony Joshua is strong.
On the basis of their professional records, 'The Gypsy King' likely has the pedigree and proof to back up any pre-bout billing here.
But his performance against Arslanbek Makhmudov, while convincing, did perhaps not answer some lingering questions on his form.
With both men now seemingly due to fight this summer before their bout, there may be more to discover in how they can fare there.
This affair has been years in the making. But whether it lands with a bang or a whimper may well depend on how Fury backs his bluster.
