Fury claimed he had bet £1,000 that Joshua would lose to Charles Martin - and later taunted Joshua on social media, saying he looked "slow and ponderous" and "like a bodybuilder".
"I'm going to walk through Fury when he's ready," said Joshua. "I mean business and I'm here to stay."

He told Sky Sports Box Office: "I'm only quarter of the way there," referring to his hope to unify the division.
"There's still a lot of work to be done. I've done two rounds, so I'll go to the changing rooms and work on the pads.
"I've got people like David Haye and Tyson Fury calling me out so I need to keep improving. Every fight gets better and better. I want to give value for money and I appreciate the ongoing support of the fans."
Fury defends his three titles against Wladimir Klitschko in Manchester on July 9.
