Froch: "John Fury Crossed the Line"

Former British champion Carl Froch has spoken out about the conflict sparked by John Fury, father of WBC champion Tyson Fury. Fury Sr. headbutted a member of the team of his son's next opponent, Oleksandr Usyk, and ended up with a cut himself.

"John Fury crossed the line. Right now, we are trying to overcome John.

He used to come at me. He challenged me and said he would give me a kick in the ass and a slap. He literally declared publicly that he would fight me at Wembley.

I gave him credit verbally because I’m not going to sit idly by and allow someone to talk rubbish about me without a response.

What he says is somewhat unpleasant. It borders on absurdity and rudeness," Froch said.

Carl Froch and John Fury have clashed multiple times. Tyson's father even challenged the former champion to a fight.

Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will face off on May 18 in Saudi Arabia.
