Heavyweight cult hero Tyson Fury has warned Anthony Joshua he is "only interested in smashing your face in" after the fellow British heavyweight suggested he join his management team.
The long-standing feud between the pair was reignited this week when Fury responded to suggestions made by Joshua in an interview with a British newspaper.
The 2012 Olympic champion suggested Fury would do well to join him at infamous boxing promoter Eddie Hearn's Matchroom stable, and link up with his own management group of he wanted to be a real superstar.
"I do think he (Fury) should come over to Matchroom and 258 Management and let us handle his career," said Joshua.

"He's a superstar, he's a superstar in the making with the right management. He could go all the way."
That's all Fury needed to kick-off.
Taking to Twitter, the 'Gypsy King' did what he does best.
"@anthonyfjoshua has it ever dawned on you I'm not interested in being a superstar, or famous," he replied.
"I'm a fighting man and only interested in smashing your face in, you keep the stardom, I'll stay real, #youbigdosser I'm coming for u superstar, tick tock tick tock."
Fury and Joshua have an agreement to fight twice in 2021 should Joshua emerge victorious world title fight against Kubrat Puvlev this weekend.
Joshua last found in December 2019 when he reclaimed his title from Andy Ruiz Jr.
Fury has not fought since dismantling Deontay Wilder in emphatic fashion earlier this year.
