Boxing star Carl Froch has pulled no punches as he slammed John Fury for his actions on Monday.
John, Tyson Fury’s father, was involved in a spat with Team Usyk ahead of their unification bout on Saturday evening. In a clip shared on social media, John can be seen seemingly throwing a headbutt in the direction of one Oleksandr Usyk’s team.
And speaking to OnlineSlotsRealMoney, Froch has fumed at the John Fury Show: “He [John Fury] has overstepped the mark! We’re having a go at John Fury now though.

“A lot of it is a bit close to the bone as well. It’s borderline absurd and crude. I think, ‘come on John, think about what you’re gonna say before you say it.’
“The fighting man that doesn’t fight has caused trouble, I’m not surprised, he’s been told to pipe down and keep out of the way on the build up to this.
“He’s been told, pipe down, keep your mouth shut, and stay out of the way of the promotion. This is serious business boxing. And he’s a clown sometimes. He’s on Jake Paul’s level with the clownage.”
