Tyson Fury has insisted there's no bad blood between himself and Anthony Joshua while telling a reporter to 'behave yourself' when quizzed on his fellow Briton.
Joshua recently appeared on The Jonathan Ross show and admitted he was fuelled on by insults from Fury, who often calls him a 'sausage'.
“This is one of my rivals, this is someone I want to compete with one day," he said.
"So everything he says, I’ve got it all stored in the back of my memory and when the fight happens, I’m going to use it as a lot of fuel.”

Talk of Fury and Joshua fighting has ramped up over the next few months.
AJ is a man on the up after recently destroying Francis Ngannou during their bout on March 8.
But Fury, speaking ahead of his own showdown with Oleksandr Usyk on May 18, has now insisted their rivalry isn't personal.
"What, because I called him a sausage?" he said when asked if a fight between himself and Joshua would carry 'bad blood'.
"Has he ever said anything bad to me that's personal, or me to him?
"If he was here now we'd go for a beer and a jam sandwich, or I'd take him out for fish and chips.
"I'd take him back to my house to meet my kids and take a picture.
"What, you think there's bad blood between two boxers? Behave yourself."
Last year, Fury was ready to turn his back on boxing for good.
Yet the Gypsy King has now laid out his plans for his next 10 fights, suggesting he's eager to remain in the sport in the process.
"If Saudi didn't come into boxing and put my last fight on, I wouldn't be boxing now," said the veteran.
"We've talked about 10 more fights and that's the aim.
"I'm not even 36 yet so I'll go to 40, all these fighters go to 40. If they can line them up quickly I’ll do them.
"I can get the best out of me when I have two, three, four fights on the spin. If they can do it, fantastic.
"I'll do Usyk, Usyk, AJ, AJ - if he doesn't get beat in the meantime - so that's four.

"Then I'll do Daniel Dubois and Joe Joyce, then Joseph Parker, that's seven.
"Then I'll go to America and chuck in an American, maybe Deontay Wilder for a fourth time. Maybe a European, an Agit Kabayel.
"Then for the 10th I'll probably do a trilogy with Usyk."
Fury and Usyk are set to fight twice.
And the 35-year-old insists that's because his upcoming opponent was 'crying like a little b***h about it'.

"The rematch was always very important to the little Usyk fella, he was crying like a little b***h about it," he continued.
"I never wanted rematches after that Wilder stuff, I wanted one fight, but now I see it’s good because if I was chinned in a round I would get the chance to avenge it and get paid double.
"So I take my bald head off to Usyk, he gets a second chance and paid twice."
