World heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua spurred his rivals in a progression of provocative Twitter posts on Thursday as he hopes to arrange his next fight.
Having effectively defended his IBF and WBA titles against Carlos Takam, Joshua wants to bind together the division.
He sent tweets to WBO champion Joseph Parker and WBC title-holder Deontay Wilder, and also provoking kindred Briton Tyson Fury, who has not fought since November 2015 because of wellness and psychological well-being issues.
Joshua, 28, sent New Zealand's Parker a GIF of Kermit the Frog drinking tea, alongside the message: "@joeboxerparker Sips tea, keeps on perusing tweets and revives email.. Still No Offer."
He sent Wilder, known as the 'Bronze Bomber', a connection to a 18-minute YouTube meet in which he talked about his want to battle the American, who has said he would be set up to battle Joshua in Britain.
In a going with tweet, Joshua expressed: "A little word on the @BronzeBomber battle. Prepared and sitting tight for the offer."
His third and last tweet, sent to Fury, incorporated an irreverence bound affront that called Fury "fat" said he expected to "get fit."
Joshua grumbled on Wednesday that potential rivals were cheerful to talk up the likelihood of battling him without endeavoring to influence a session to happen.
He said his promoter, Eddie Hearn, was traveling to the United States to attempt to strike an arrangement to battle Wilder.
In any case, Parker's promoter, David Higgins, has asserted his contender has a consent to battle Joshua next
