Tyson Fury has continued his war of words with Anthony Joshua overnight, hitting out at his fellow Briton whilst attempting to source a fresh opponent for their reported November 20 fight date.
The domestic heavyweight rivals had been expected to be preparing for their end of year clash by now, but with talks rumbling on regarding the location of the fight, the Gypsy King is now offering himself up for other fight opportunities.
His calls for a trilogy clash with former undisputed king Oleksandr Usyk have seemingly fallen on deaf ears, with the Ukrainian's trainer rubbishing talk of a third dust-up between the pair.
Now, Fury has seemingly issued an open challenge to anybody wanting to fight him in a bizarre social media post on Tuesday night.
Accompanied by an AI-generated image, with a picture of Fury underneath the title 'YES MAN', the Morecambe star said on Instagram: "Anyone, anywhere, any country!
"Send me the contract and location. As I've proved many times, have a bag, will travel. Klitschko in Germany, Wilder in the USA, Usyk in Saudi Arabia. Gypsy Warrior!

This isn't the first time that Fury has taken to his official social media channels in an attempt to ramp up the heat on Joshua, who he continuously calls a 'useless sausage', and his team over the past few days.
With AJ and his long-term promoter Eddie Hearn refusing to undertake the fight outside of the United Kingdom, it's led to a breakdown in discussions, with Fury, Frank Warren and boxing bank-roller Turki Alalshikh all keen for the event to be staged in New York City.
With no breakthrough being found since news of the dispute first came to light last month, it's thrown serious doubt on what would be one of the biggest fights in heavyweight history.
Hearn has argued that the original contract signed by all parties stipulated that the fight must take place on British soil, however, with greater riches and more commercial opportunities on offer overseas, especially in the Big Apple, Fury and his representatives have changed tact.
Hearn had originally appeared willing to agree to their demands, but following a backlash from British fans on social media, the Matchroom supremo has stuck to his guns and refused to agree to the new terms.
With the clock ticking down towards the rumoured November 20 fight date, a breakthrough will need to be made soon, otherwise it will be yet another major let down for the millions of fans who had been clamouring for this fight for the past decade.
