In a fiery exchange of words, John Fury has issued a challenge to Carl Froch for a Wembley showdown, following Froch’s criticism of Tyson Fury’s camp for the postponement of the Oleksandr Usyk fight due to a sparring injury.
Retired since 2014, Froch didn’t hold back, blaming Fury and his trainer for not taking enough precautions to avoid the cut inflicted during sparring. Froch emphasized his own use of a face guard as a preventive measure, expressing disappointment in Fury’s perceived lack of preparation for such a crucial bout.
John Fury retaliated, sharing a video on Roman Fury’s Instagram story, calling out Froch for his comments and proposing a Wembley Stadium face-off with a crowd of 93,000 spectators. Fury labeled it “Hater versus Top Father” and challenged Froch to make business sense out of it, emphasizing the pragmatic aspect of the sport.
While this isn’t the first clash between Fury and Froch, with previous disagreements over Fury’s track record, John Fury remains adamant about facing Froch at Wembley Stadium this year. The challenge is now thrown, with Fury urging Froch’s team to contact him directly to arrange the contracts for what could be a highly anticipated showdown.
