HUGHIE FURY has called out "complete stiff" Anthony Joshua and vowed to "absolutely blitz him."
Joshua has failed in the past to get a deal over the line with Hughie's superstar cousin Tyson.
But now the former heavyweight world title challenger wants to get to AJ first.
Hughie told Pro Boxing Fans: "I'd absolutely blitz him.
"They're the fights I want. Joshua honestly wouldn't stand a chance.
"He's a complete stiff altogether. There's nothing about him whatsoever. I think he's a stiff and it couldn't be an easier fight.”

Meanwhile Joshua, 33, is in talks for a December super-fight in Saudi Arabia with Deontay Wilder, 37.
But he could return beforehand on August 12 with Dillian Whyte, 35, sent a contract, which he must sign by TODAY.
