Froch on Fighting<\/a>, the former super-middleweight world champion revealed that talks behind the scenes to stage the fight did, somewhat surprisingly, make progress, but he believes Fury, 60, has now backed down.<\/p>\n\u201cI need to mention Big John Fury, the fighting man \u2026 He\u2019s been given the opportunity to fight \u2018The Cobra\u2019 \u2026 It\u2019s gone to the stage where the broadcasters are quite interested. He\u2019s making unreasonable demands now about getting Tommy Fury on before him and me.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s basically put a blockade in there with his son, Tommy. Which is ridiculous, because, let\u2019s be honest, nobody gives a s**t about Tommy fighting. We watched him against [Jake] Paul and he\u2019s done nothing since. He pulled out against Darren Till and done f**k all since. It\u2019s Big John Fury running his mouth, big gobs***e, making a nuisance of himself. Then he\u2019s been offered the opportunity \u2026 John Fury has got no intentions of fighting anybody, including myself. He\u2019s the option put in front of him, it\u2019s going to be seven figures and he\u2019s made an excuse, and talked his way out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The fight \u2013 for better or worse \u2013 did have the potential to land on a Misfits promotion, or something similar, however now looks to be dead in the water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carl Froch has revealed he was receptive to an offer on the table for a comeback fight.
