Tyson Fury’s father John Fury has been left absolutely livid after hearing Carl Froch’s comments about his son’s boxing résumé.
The Gypsy King’s CV took a hit in the eyes of some boxing fans in December as two of his best wins suffered one-sided defeats.
Deontay Wilder was comprehensively outclassed by Joseph Parker and then, on the same show, Otto Wallin was destroyed in five rounds by Anthony Joshua.
These results led former super-middleweight world champion Froch to question Tyson’s record as he told LuckyBlock: “I don’t know if it was flattering for AJ or if it just looked bad for Fury, because he struggled against Otto Wallin.
“It leaves a lot of question marks. How good is Tyson Fury? What’s he ever done? Who’s he actually beaten?
“He obviously beat Wladimir Klitschko in a bit of a stinker. That was just an awkward, horrible performance where he just got inside Klitschko’s head and messed him up with that jab.
“After the Klitschko fight, Fury had those three big standout fights with Deontay Wilder.
“But how good is Deontay Wilder now? He looked awful against Joseph Parker.
“So now you start questioning him. Is Tyson Fury actually what we thought he was or has he been flattered by the lack of opposition?
Froch’s comments have received no answer from Tyson, but drawn a furious response from John instead.
