It took place at a press conference to promote Tyson Fury’s next fight
John Fury was caught on video venting his fury at former British boxer Carl Froch during a press event on Monday (16 February).
The two men were in attendance at an event to promote the upcoming bout between Fury’s relative Tyson and Russian fighter Arslan Makhmudov, set to take place in April.
Froch, who was representing broadcasters DAZN, was made the target of John Fury’s attention.
Fury said: “Where the f**k are you? The world’s been calling me a f***ing shithouse.
“Put some f***ing respect on the name of John Fury. And get that Carl Froch here. If he wants it, I’m f***ing here.
“And if anyone else wants it – look at it. I’m here. The ultimate f***ing male.”
The rant could be heard during live coverage of the event, released by DAZN.
A response from Froch was also recorded.
He could be heard saying: “He’s already started. He’s started on me a little bit. He’s mentioned my name, ‘Carl Froch, if you want to have it, let’s have it’. I don’t know want he wants me to have!
“Let’s just do what we’ve got to do. Let’s be professional, and see what unfolds.”
Fury could then be heard continuing his words towards Froch, saying: “I’m afraid of no man. Only God almighty. And I’m here to prove it to you all.
“F**k this charade. This is f***ing me. John Fury. I don’t give a f**k about any man. Put some f***ing respect on my name.”
The motivations behind those words were later described by Fury in an interview with IFL TV.
Fury said: “”They’ve been making videos about John Fury for two years.
“You can’t mess with this man. I’m the real deal, me. Tried and tested. Done the time for violence. Years in prison, from being a pup.
“I called him out here to fight. I said, ‘You’re making videos, come and f***ing fight now!’ They’ve been calling me names for years.”
