John Fury went on a rampage following son Tommy’s win over Eddie Hall on Saturday night. The former bare-knuckle fighter was caught on camera letting his fists loose on a wall and calling Carl Froch a “worm” as he begged for a fight.<\/p>\n

Tommy went the distance with Hall, a former World’s Strongest Man, but the British boxer won by a majority decision<\/a> in Manchester. He said: “I\u2019ve fought a lot of people, and this guy can fight. He\u2019s not slow, he\u2019s fit. Thank you for taking the fight and thank you for a great night in Manchester.”<\/p>\n

However, the attention was all on Fury’s father<\/a> as he stomped around backstage shirtless and in an apparent rage. There has been tension brewing between John and the former super-middleweight world champion, as the 61-year-old called Froch out for a scrap.<\/p>\n

He said: “It took f****** 20 men to hold me back. Where are you, you f****** worm?” and ended up letting loose on a wall with his fists.<\/p>\n

The senior Fury continued his tirade on Froch, adding: “The coward Carl Froch, the worm Carl Froch. Him with the bum hole like a rabbit\u2019s nose twitching. Where was he tonight? From an old man. Running scared from an old man. Terrible.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s an embarrassment to Nottingham. Carl, the worm, Froch. You know them championship belts he won, don\u2019t you? He wants to give them to somebody with a pair of nuts, because let me tell you, he\u2019s no street fighter. I\u2019m a street fighter.<\/p>\n

“It took 20 men to hold me there tonight. There\u2019s no 12 stone man, or 13 stone man, going to do any good with me.”<\/p>\n

Fury Sr then put a potential date out, stating he would fight Froch on the undercard of Tyson’s next bout. He said: “Well, why don\u2019t we do this then, yeah? First of August, Tyson\u2019s having a comeback fight. He\u2019ll fight some well-known name, and I\u2019ll fight the coward Froch. The biggest worm I\u2019ve ever seen in my life.”<\/p>\n

Froch has had some words of his own for Fury, seemingly mocking him in March. The 48-year-old told NewBettingSites.uk: “What level was John Fury? He had a couple of fights\u2026 I\u2019m not sure how many he had, but he was a journeyman.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s been brave enough to get in there and have a go. I think he got splattered. So, he\u2019s a very low-level journeyman.<\/p>\n

“But still brave enough to get in there, still fought, still laced the gloves up, so he deserves credit for that. But he was absolutely f****** useless. John Fury has gone quiet on our fight, as he does. You don\u2019t want any of the Cobra. He doesn\u2019t need me punching him around the ribs.<\/p>\n

“I physically wouldn\u2019t hit him with a right hand on the chin if I boxed him. I wouldn\u2019t do it, just out of respect. I\u2019d just jab him in the face. My jab has not even half the power on my right-hand.<\/p>\n

“And I\u2019d only work his body. I\u2019d only hit him in the bread basket. That\u2019s all I\u2019d need to do. So I\u2019d jab him in the face, and work the body.”<\/p>\n
