Carl Froch provides brutal verdict on Tommy Fury

Carl Froch has recently been embroiled in a war of words with John Fury, but he has now hit out at Tommy Fury following his recent points wins against Eddie Hall. 

Earlier this month, Fury maintained his unbeaten record against Hall, but it was not a vintage performance despite Fury still insisting he can compete for professional titles. 

In the immediate aftermath of the fight, Fury was linked to future fights against the likes of Darrren Till and Jake Paul, but his next move remains unknown. 

Fury’s dad and Froch are also two people linked to a showdown on a Misfits show, and there are rumours within the boxing industry that they will both end retirement to compete in a lucrative fight. 

John Fury was a heavyweight contender who made his debut in 1987 and after walking away from the sport in 1995 after a loss to Steve Garber, he is now more known for being the father of Tyson and Tommy. 

Froch retired in 2014 following an impressive career that saw him reign as super-middleweight champion as well as beating quality names such as Mikkel Kessler and George Groves. 

With both men now being opinionated figures on the sport, it was likely their paths would eventually cross, but will that now escalate further after Froch’s assessment on the younger Fury. 

“His fight with Eddie Hall was nothing short of a f*****g embarrassment," said Froch on his YouTube channel. 

“I know he’s been out of the ring 12 months, and I don’t consider him a professional boxer. But to get in there with Eddie Hall when people have paid money to watch him fight, it had a good build-up, the Beauty and the Beast and Eddie’s a big lad, he’s fit and strong, he can throw a few punches and have a go, but Tommy just got in there and ran. 

“Six two-minute rounds for a start. I was disappointed when I saw six two-minute rounds. It’s not athletic in the slightest; it’s a third of a professional boxing match. He just got in there and just legged it and ran. Held on when he got close, he must have thrown five or six punches a round. It was embarrassing.”
