Joshua: Anthony Joshua claims Tyson Fury is 'hating on his body'

Anthony Joshua will challenge for the world title on Saturday



Anthony Joshua has claimed Tyson Fury is jealous of his "beach body" and joked that he would lend the WBA and WBO world heavyweight champion a hand in training.
Joshua challenges American Charles Martin for the IBF world heavyweight title at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday - live on Sky Sports Box Office - in only his 16th professional fight. 
The 2012 Olympic gold medallist so far has an unblemished professional record, but was taken further than he had ever been in his previous fight against domestic rival Dillian Whyte before producing a seventh-round knockout. 
Fury, who was stripped of the IBF title in December, has described Joshua as "useless", adding: "This game is not all about body-building. It's about knowing how to box. He's getting knocked out."
He also said: "Joshua can't box. No, he doesn't have a jab. Yes, his movement is terrible and he's wide open with no idea how to defend himself."
Joshua has spoken of his wish to eventually fight Fury in a unification bout should he defeat Martin, and in a response to his comments, said: "They're hating on my beach body, they're just hating, that's what it is. If they want, I'll give them some sessions, they can come train with me if they want.
"I asked them to spar, they don't want to spar, they don't want to work, so they can stay there, but this is just how I am. I ain't got no comments on his physique.
Joshua has offered Fury to join him for some training sessions

"This is just how I am. There's a lot of jealousy, a lot of negativity, so that's why I shut it down and just focus on myself.
"I don't search for their attention, I'm not worried if he backs me or not, because I'll still handle my business, he's not supposed to back me realistically, so I don't expect no different."
Charles Martin vs Anthony Joshua, live on Sky Sports Box Office on April 9. Order the event online.
