Carl Froch has once again cast doubt on the future of Tyson Fury’s boxing career as the heavyweight prepares for his highly anticipated clash against Oleksandr Usyk.
In the lead-up to the mega undisputed showdown, Froch has been vocal about his concerns regarding Fury’s boxing resume and his ability to withstand punches, particularly in light of a recent sparring injury.
Following a three-month postponement due to an unfortunate accident, Fury is gearing up to face Usyk on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, marking the first undisputed heavyweight clash since 1999.
Despite being back in the UK temporarily, Fury will soon return to Saudi Arabia to resume his training camp ahead of the monumental bout.
The tension between Froch and Fury’s camp escalated when Fury’s father, John, challenged Froch to a fight at Wembley Stadium over Froch’s critical remarks.
Froch continues to offer his candid assessment of Fury’s capabilities, highlighting concerns about Fury’s susceptibility to taking hits, especially as he ages.
Froch expressed doubt about Fury’s promise of five more fights, including potential rematches with Usyk and Francis Ngannou, as well as a showdown with Anthony Joshua, citing waning desire and performance issues.
Despite his skepticism, Froch believes the fight with Usyk will proceed in May and offered advice to Fury on protecting his cut during sparring sessions.
Acknowledging the potential for a Fury-Joshua matchup, Froch still sees Fury as the favorite, given Joshua’s recent performances.
Reflecting on Joshua’s previous losses to Usyk, Froch believes a third bout between them would result in another victory for Usyk, citing his ability to elevate his performance when needed.
In essence, Froch’s comments underscore ongoing doubts about Fury’s longevity and readiness for upcoming challenges, while also highlighting the unpredictability of the heavyweight division.
