Tyson Fury has spoken out about his father John’s behaviour towards Carl Froch for the first time.<\/p>\n

John Fury appeared at the kick-off press conference ahead of his son’s April 11 fight against Arslan Makhmudov last month, and began hurling abuse and insults at Froch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He repeatedly shouted ‘run like a f***ing b***h’ at Froch, who was working for DAZN, before explaining that his furious tirade was because the former super-middleweight had been ‘making videos’ about him.<\/p>\n

Froch would subsequently accept John’s call-out for a fight on the Tyson Fury<\/a> undercard, stating that ‘it might be my job to finally shut this big gobs***e up’.<\/p>\n

In a further update<\/a>, Froch said that there had actually been discussions with broadcasters about a potential fight between the pair, though claimed that John wanted his son, Tommy<\/a>, to have a fight on the card.<\/p>\n

“He’s basically put a blockade in there with his son, Tommy,” he stated on his YouTube channel. “Which is ridiculous because, let’s be honest, no-one gives a s**t about Tommy fighting. Who cares?”<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, there is no official fight agreement between Froch, who is now 48, and 61-year-old Fury.<\/p>\n

Ahead of his own comeback fight, Tyson Fury has made his feelings clear about where he stands on the rivalry between his father and Froch.<\/p>\n

“To be honest with you, it’s all for views and clicks,” he told OOOSCH TV<\/a>. “I think the Saudis were very happy with it all. It gained a lot of global attention.<\/p>\n

“You wouldn’t think someone 61 years old could create that much hype and attention, but he does. He’s gold at it, for sure.<\/p>\n

“But as for my dad, at 60-odd years old, wanting to fight Carl Froch, and Carl Froch trying to boost his name off an old man’s name. Do you think I’m going to let my dad fight Carl Froch? How’s he going to fight a 60-year-old man? Have some brains, you silly f***er. Both of them.<\/p>\n

“They need to just have a bit of sense and show some professionalism in this game.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, John claimed that his relationship with his son was ‘destroyed completely’ because of boxing – claims which Tyson has yet to respond to.<\/p>\n

“My relationship with Tyson is destroyed,” he told Playbook Boxing<\/a>. “Boxing destroyed it completely.<\/p>\n

“I’ll say it on camera: I’ve never taken \u00a310 off him in my life and I never will. I don’t want Tyson’s money and I don’t need Tyson’s money.<\/p>\n

“Whatever he’s got, good luck to him. But, don’t forget who built his story when he was a kid. He didn’t build it himself, did he? Me, his father.<\/p>\n

“I haven’t really expressed these emotions before but they’re strong, and they’re there.”<\/p>\n

“If you can’t show your father respect when it matters, then just carry on,” he later added. “I don’t need you.<\/p>\n

“He’s taken their word over mine. And that’s eaten me up more than I can explain.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Fury has spoken out about his father John’s behaviour towards Carl Froch for the first time.
