Tyson Fury has kicked off the war of words with Anthony Joshua.
The British boxers called each other out following Joshua's victory over Wladimir Klitschko last Saturday at Wembley Stadium.
Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, then downplayed any suggestion that the bout would take place any time soon.
Fury hasn't fought since his stunning upset against Klitschko in November 2015, and has only recently returned to training.
Hearn said Fury needs to get his boxing license back, address allegations of a failed drug test, get back into shape and win some fights before any bout against Joshua can take place.
However, that hasn't stopped Fury throwing a few verbal jabs.

The Manchester boxer, has completely dismissed Joshua's boxing ability.
Fury claims he is just a "body builder", that he would "make a mug" of him and that the potential fight would be the "easiest" of his career.
"Joshua is a big man with a puncher's chance and has no footwork, no speed or stamina," Fury told
BBC 5 live.
"He is what you call a boxer's dream. I've had 18 months out and ballooned up to 26 stone. I could come back with no comeback fights and still box rings around that body builder."
Fury, who, like Joshua, is undefeated in his career, then delivered the ultimate insult to Joshua, labelling the 27-year-old a "fraud."
"I will rip the fraud from the division," Fury said.
"We are in the business of sweet science. Sweet science does not consist of a body beautiful, iron pumping big fella.
"It's feinting, jabbing, moving, gliding around the ring, that's the sweet science."
Fury also told the BBC that he considers himself "the outlaw" in the heavyweight division. The 28-year-old appears only too happy to play the bad guy in this potential feud with Joshua.
