John Fury is threatening to price himself out of a fight with Carl Froch.<\/p>\n

Fury, father to former heavyweight world<\/a> champion Tyson and influencer boxer Tommy, has repeatedly called out British boxing<\/a> legend Froch who this week agreed to fight the 61-year-old. But Fury is demanding \u00a32.5million to fight the former super-middleweight despite previously having been offered \u00a31m.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll sign the dotted line. Let\u2019s get it on!\u201d Fury told Fight Your Corner.<\/a> \u201cGet me a two-and-a-half million quid contract. We don’t need a long time away because at 61, I ain’t got that long. I want to make history I’ll be the first 61-year-old man in history to take on a three-time Hall of Famer in Carl Froch. I can’t wait.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m bringing a lot into the ring because I’ve got my son there. I got Tommy there. Do you think I’m going to embarrass myself by not fighting? I\u2019m fighting. It’s on like Donkey Kong.”<\/p>\n

After Tommy’s win over Eddie Hall last weekend, Fury Sr sent a message to Froch. “He\u2019s an embarrassment to Nottingham. Carl, the worm, Froch,” he said. “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. 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

Froch, who has already accepted the fight once, has now responded. “I’m ready. I’m ready to fight. I’ve got I ain’t got a problem with putting a bully in his place,” he said on his YouTube channel<\/a>. “But it got serious because he asked Kalle [Sauerland] and Kalle said, ‘Listen, I can do the fight. No problem.’ He hasn’t priced himself out; not yet anyway, and it looks like he’s being serious. So, there’s a chance that this fight might actually get made if John doesn’t vanish like he did last time.<\/p>\n

“So, John, listen up and listen closely because I want you to get this into your thick f***ing skull. This has been going on for too long now. I saw you punching a perspect picture on the wall the other day. Walls don’t hit back. You’re a f***ing bully. You started on Carl Frampton, started on Steve Bunce and you headbutted the smallest man in the room at the Usyk press conference. Listen, I’m ready to fight. You’ve called it on. I’m answering. I’m ready for you. Sign the f***ing contract or shut the f*** up.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fury, father to former heavyweight world champion Tyson and influencer boxer Tommy, has repeatedly called out British boxing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":646700,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,2896,21662,15289,101,56,54,55,42403,132],"class_list":["post-646699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-bullying","tag-carl-froch","tag-john-fury","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-world-champions","tag-youtube"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/646699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=646699"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/646699\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/646700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=646699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=646699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=646699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
