Tyson Fury's father wants to settle his dispute with Carl Froch in the ring

John Fury has called out Carl Froch and wants to fight him at Wembley this year as their feud reaches a new level.

The pair have been embroiled in a slanging match after Froch criticised Tyson Fury ahead of his undisputed fight against Oleksandr Usyk.


Last month, Froch questioned Tyson Fury's boxing career by telling Lucky Block: "What's he ever done? Who has he actually beaten?"

That led to a furious reaction from John Fury, who called Froch a 's******se' and said he would 'kick him up the a***'.

Froch has continued to make his feelings clear on Fury, by questioning how it was allowed for him to sustain a cut in sparring which led to the postponement of the bout with Usyk.

And now Fury senior has had enough and wants to step into the ring with the 46-year-old former super-middleweight champion.

In a video posted on Roman Fury's Instagram story, John Fury told Froch to get the contracts drawn up for a fight later this year.

He 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."

Froch's latest criticism of Tyson Fury came at the weekend following news of the postponement.

He laid blame on Fury's trainer for allowing Croatian heavyweight Argon Smakici to get too close to him but also Fury for being 'sloppy' in sparring.

Froch said on his YouTube channel: "I don't think there's any excuse for him to get cut. It never happened to me. I used to wear a face guard.

"No elbows can get through so you mitigate getting injured. That's what you should be doing before a fight of this magnitude - taking massive precautions.

"I'm blaming his trainer, I'm blaming Tyson himself for not taking that precaution, whether you're uncomfortable in it or not.

"He's got cut in sparring two weeks before the biggest fight of his life. This is the unification, undisputed heavyweight title fight we've all been waiting for.

"At two weeks out he should be keeping his sparring partners at a distance, working on what he needs to work on when he's fighting Usyk.

"Of course the guys are going to get close to you during sparring, but from the clips I've seen Fury was having a bit of a push around and a move, he was looking sloppy."
