Carl Froch has offered to fight John Fury after the pair got into it at a press conference in London yesterday.
The legendary former super-middleweight world champion was hosting Netflix’s coverage of Tyson Fury’s press conference with Arslanbek Makhmudov on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. And chaos broke out when Tyson’s dad got here towards the published desk, roaring and complaining.
Froch has never shied away from critiquing the elder Fury, often mocking his excessive antics on his popular YouTube channel. This all boiled over in a heated exchange yesterday that the boxing icon has now responded to in a brand new video.

Carl Froch defends himself against John Fury’s attack
In a brand new video on his YouTube channel, Carl Froch has explained his side of the bizarre incident that went viral at yesterday’s press conference. He’s a long-time critic of John Fury’s, and has mocked him prior to now on social media.
“So to start out with, I’m considering: ‘Who does he want?’ He says: ‘You and your s—house mate who does that channel of yours, that YouTube channel’. I don’t know if he was after me or if he was after my producer, but either way, he got here down the steps and identical to I believed, he calls everyone a s—house.”
Froch noted that Fury was likely just searching for attention, as usual. And he insisted that had things develop into physical, he would have ‘been capable of defend himself,’ even joking that the pair could fight on Misfits Boxing.
“All he wanted was the silly attention, that’s all he was searching for,” Froch continued “Big attention, big mouth, walking around, empty vessels make essentially the most noise. He didn’t do anything. He didn’t do s—… He’s got the eye he needs.
“Everyone’s got their phone out, as you’ve probably seen him walking around: ‘Where is he? Where is he?’ Shouting my name. He knew exactly where he was. He did nothing. He just made a t– of himself again.
“Don’t get me flawed, if he got here on top and he got here to my face and he tried anything, I’d should defend myself and trust me, I can defend myself. Last item I would like to do is iron out an old boy. Well, if it comes on top, mate, it’s you or me. You best imagine it ain’t going to be me.
“So yeah, he’s done himself a favour often because he didn’t come over to me, and if Big John Fury, the fighting man who’s never had a fight in his life, not for the last 20 years anyway, if he comes for me searching for some aggro, trust me, he’s going to seek out it.
“And he might see this and he may need one other go next time he sees me. I hope he doesn’t since the final thing I would like to do is iron out an old boy… I used to be cool, calm and picked up… But for the idiots on the market who say I s*** myself, listen, you obviously don’t know what I’m about.”
John Fury hits back at Carl Froch in bizarre latest video
Fury wasn’t blissful with Froch’s video, in addition to his long-time rival Joe Egan who took aim at him within the aftermath.
“That is to all of the pretenders on the market; the worm Froch and the opposite f—ing juicehead [Egan],” He said in a video while seemingly out running. “Time’s running out for you boys, I’m going to bump into you and once I do, I’m going to do the 2 of you on the identical night.
“You two s—houses can attempt to two me, I’ll batter the s— out of the 2 of you and I’m telling you now, it’s at your peril boys. It’s at your f—ing peril and if I’ve got to return to jail for you two s—houses, you two fugazis, fakes, I don’t mind doing it.
“But imagine me, look here, running, training, 20-stone and 9lb [approximately 289lb], I’ll f—ing chew you up and spit you out. There’s men taking juice to be as big as John Fury, I even have beef, steak and stew and I eat worms.
“I eat worms for my breakfast such as you, the worm Froch who s— yourself. Plenty to say now you fugazi, you p—-. I’ll fix you once I see you mate, I’ll batter you into oblivion and your fat, f—ing ugly mate with you.”
