Tyson Fury wants to add another element to his much-discussed potential showdown with Anthony Joshua.
Both men have opponents in front of them before the contest – referred to by promoter Eddie Hearn as the “biggest fight in British boxing history” – can come to fruition.
Fury has only just had his UK Anti-Doping ban backdated two years, allowing him to return to the ring in theory, while he remains without a licence in Britain.
The controversial heavyweight is intent to make his comeback next year but he is not overly concerned about having his licence reinstated by the British Boxing Board of Control.
After suggesting that his fight with ‘AJ’ may not go down until 2019, Fury had an interesting offer for the London 2012 gold medallist.
“Like I always say, he’s nothing but a pumped-up weightlifter,” Fury told iFL TV. “And when I get in the ring with him, I’ll show you all how good I am. I will play with the bitch.
“He won’t land a blow, 100 per cent. If he’s Superman then I’m definitely Kryptonite.
“And I’d even say, to make it very interesting, for every power punch he lands – a power punch is anything bar a jab – I’d give him a £10,000 bonus for every one he landed.Â
“That’s how confident I am that he couldn’t land anything.
“He’s a big useless, pumped-up, full of water bum city. He gasses out of his arse after four or five rounds and ain’t never fought a gypsy like me before who will punch his cunt in for him.
“I can beat him inside fighting, outside fighting, around the ring fighting and any other fighting he wants.”
Matchroom boss Hearn has recently offered Fury the likes of Dillian Whyte and Tony Bellew as potential opponents against whom he can shake off any ring rust which has gathered over the past two years.

But ‘2 Fast’ insisted that he is in no rush to make his comeback and even maintains that he won’t be pressured into signing a fight with Joshua unless he is properly rewarded.
“If the deal’s not right or they don’t agree to my terms, there’ll be no fight,” Fury said.
“I can see this fight not happening between me and ‘AJ’ purely for the fact that they don’t want this fight.
Why don't @anthonyfjoshua fight @BronzeBomber it's a great fight & the winner can fight me? Both fit & ready @MatchroomBoxing @loudibella

“I’ve already offered to do this deal with Eddie Hearn, personally, three or four times and I’ve got the messages to prove it.
“They don’t want to talk business so, just to clarify, they say they want to fight but they don’t want to put pen to paper.
“Shithouses, really. ‘AJ’ is a shithouse and he’s frightened of me. He’s frightened to death because I’ll come up there and slap him all about London.”
