There's bad blood between the two men due to comments made about Tyson Fury

Carl Froch has warned Tyson Fury's father, John, that he'd lose a potential boxing match between the pair at Wembley.

Froch recently angered the Fury family by questioning Tyson and what he'd actually achieved in the sport.


That sparked a fierce response from John, who said: "Video to Carl The Snake Froch. You’re having plenty to say mate on your little podcast channel.

"John Fury’s rung the bell for you again, got you plenty of content, plenty of viewing figures that you were after.

"Listen, your mate George Groves said something very interesting. You and me, Wembley Stadium, 93,000 crowd. I’m up for that my friend.

"You’ve had plenty to say. I have. I stand by every word that I’ve said.

"You don’t like me. Let’s see what you can do about it.

"Hater versus Top Father – that’s what we’ll call this.

"But, it’s got to make business sense. Because it's a business, let's not forget that.

"Get your people to contact me directly… get the contracts drawn up, I will fight you, Wembley Stadium, this year.

"Don't worry about that. John Fury will not back out of the fight with you my friend."

Yet Froch, speaking on his YouTube channel, has warned John against a fight - insisting the 59-year-old 'wouldn't want to go there'.

“The Cobra’s still in outrageous, chiselled shape," he added.

"If you were stood across the ring from me with 10oz gloves on, it wouldn’t last very long.

“And if you’re talking about kicking me up the a**e and giving me a slap when you see me, that’s a totally different story.

"That’s a roll around on the cobbles, and trust me you don’t want to go there with me.”

Froch has continued to criticise Tyson after the Gypsy King's bout with Oleksandr Usyk was postponed.

The two fighters had been due to meet in Saudi Arabia on February 17.

However, with Fury sustaining damage to his eye, their fight has now been pushed back to May 18 instead.

Froch has, however, questioned the timing of the injury - despite Frank Warren saying the damage was done on Friday.

"Why is he sparring the way he is?" he told talkSPORT.

"To start with, I wasn't sure about the cut, I wanted to see him stitched up.

"After seeing Tyson Fury on Instagram, the cut to me doesn't look like an acute injury, it looks like an injury that's healing, it's scabbed over, and the swelling has already come down and the bruising is showing.

"It looks about a week to ten days old, what significance that has I don't know... But have they been sitting on this for the timing to be right to give the news?

"And that sparring footage, it may or may not have been the right footage, but it must have been filmed on a Nokia 8210.

"Because it was blurry, it was horrible and then we never saw the cut after he got elbowed.

"He definitely got elbowed in the face in that sparring, but where's the clear footage and the cut, when did it happen?"
