Carl Froch claims John Fury has gone into hiding after calling him out for a boxing<\/a> fight.<\/p>\n

Fury called out Froch after watching his son Tommy defeat former World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall last month. Froch later accepted the fight but the former world<\/a> champion now claims Fury – also father to former heavyweight ruler Tyson – has gone quiet.<\/p>\n

“He’s gone quiet again. He doesn’t stop going on and on and on, he doesn’t shut up,” Froch said on his YouTube channel<\/a>. “Then it gets put on to him, DAZN have been on to him, Misfits have been on to him, Kalle Sauerland, the promoter, has been on to him. He’s gone into hiding, he’s vanished. Does anyone know where John Fury is? I’ll need to check in the cupboard.<\/p>\n

“So just know when you listen to him next time, or you watch him punching a wall, this is confirmation Big John Fury is not a fighting man. He’s absolutely full of gobs****. Don’t forget, I’m not the one who wants this fight, I accepted the challenge. He’s called it on with me and I’ve said lets do it and he’s said he’s got somewhere else to be. It’s pathetic and that’s the end of Big John Fury, and he’s not a fighting man.”<\/p>\n

After his son had outpointed Hall in Manchester, Fury said: “He\u2019s an embarrassment to Nottingham. Carl, the worm, Froch. You know them championship belts he won, don\u2019t you? He wants to give them to somebody with a pair of nuts, because let me tell you, he\u2019s no street fighter. I\u2019m a street fighter. It took 20 men to hold me there tonight. There\u2019s no 12 stone man, or 13 stone man, going to do any good with me.”<\/p>\n

Froch, who had already accepted the fight once, responded. “I’m ready. I’m ready to fight. I’ve got I ain’t got a problem with putting a bully in his place,” he said on his YouTube channel<\/a>. “But it got serious because he asked Kalle [Sauerland] and Kalle said, ‘Listen, I can do the fight. No problem.’ He hasn’t priced himself out; not yet anyway, and it looks like he’s being serious. So, there’s a chance that this fight might actually get made if John doesn’t vanish like he did last time.<\/p>\n

“So, John, listen up and listen closely because I want you to get this into your thick f***ing skull. This has been going on for too long now. I saw you punching a perspex picture on the wall the other day. Walls don’t hit back. You’re a f***ing bully. You started on Carl Frampton, started on Steve Bunce and you headbutted the smallest man in the room at the Usyk press conference. Listen, I’m ready to fight. You’ve called it on. I’m answering. I’m ready for you. Sign the f***ing contract or shut the f*** up.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"John Fury demanded a fight with Carl Froch last month but the former world champion claims the dad…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1062203,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,79621,110609,79,16,15],"class_list":["post-1062202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-carl-froch","tag-john-fury","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116845752394513691","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1062202"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062202\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1062203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1062202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1062202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1062202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
