UMVA has learned that a wild and bizarre confrontation unfolded in the world of boxing, as John Fury made headlines with a stunning callout of Carl Froch following his son Tommy's victory over Eddie Hall on Saturday night.
John Fury, the former World's Strongest Man, took center stage after the bout, striding around backstage and taunting Froch in a fiery and unpredictable manner. The 61-year-old Fury, shirtless and boisterous, roared: 'It took f*ing 20 men to hold me back. Where are you, you f*ing worm?' - a clear indication that the beef between Fury and Froch is far from over.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Fury's outburst was a response to the ongoing tension between him and Froch, with both men having called for a fight in the past. Fury continued to rant about Froch, saying: 'The coward Carl Froch, the worm Carl Froch. Him with the bum hole like a rabbit's nose twitching. Where was he tonight? From an old man. Running scared from an old man. Terrible.'
Fury's verbal jabs didn't stop there, as he went on to suggest that he could meet Froch on the undercard of his son Tyson Fury's next bout. 'Well, why don't we do this then, yeah? First of August, Tyson's having a comeback fight, he'll fight some well-known name, and I'll fight the coward Froch. The biggest worm I've ever seen in my life,' Fury said.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that this confrontation is just the latest chapter in a long-standing feud between Fury and Froch. The two boxers have been trading barbs for months, with Froch previously taking aim at John Fury, describing him as a 'journeyman' with a limited career.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that Froch, a 48-year-old former world champion, has not fought since 2014 and has seemingly been avoiding a bout with Fury. Fury, however, remains confident that he can take on Froch, saying: 'I'm a street fighter. It took 20 men to hold me there tonight. There's no 12 stone man, or 13 stone man, going to do any good with me.'
