Carl Froch has warned Tyson Fury that boxing fans are turning against him in a stinging response to his recent insults.
The British boxing legend and current WBC heavyweight world champion are presently in a war of words over Fury’s upcoming fight with Francis Ngannou on October 28.
The Gypsy King’s decision to take on a former UFC champion making his boxing debut for mega money in Saudi Arabia has brought about criticism from within the boxing world.
Among these critics are Froch and Tony Bellew.
Asked about their comments, Fury told reporters recently: “See these motherf***ing balls? Lick them b***h.
“The fact that Bellew and Froch didn't make any money out of the game is obviously hurtful to them.
“I've just signed the biggest deal in boxing history, which I can't divulge to you right now.
“They're like all these media suckers, mention Tyson Fury's name to try and get some clickbait.
“But without me, there ain't no f***ing boxing. I run the game.”
Now, Froch has taken to his YouTube channel Froch On Fighting to respond.
“Alright, you’re taking the money, that’s great,” Froch said, “But when your career’s over you want your legacy to be intact.
“The fans are turning against you – it’s sad to see.
“Deep down I think you know you’re hurting the sport.
“You’re taking the money instead of being full of pride for the sport.
“I’ll tell you something as well – you can have as much money as you want, but if you turn up to a Hall of Fame party next year, you won’t be dining on the top table with me and my peers.
“You won’t belong there with that CV.”
