CARL FROCH has hit back at Tyson Fury’s X-rated rant at him and told the heavyweight star that the boxing world is turning against him.
The former super middleweight champion, 46, and the current WBC title holder have become embroiled in a bitter war of words over the Gypsy King’s upcoming fight with Francis Ngannou.
Fury’s decision to face the ex-UFC champ on October 28 for mega-money in Saudi Arabia rather than defend his title has led to some fierce criticism from the boxing world.
Froch and fellow British icon Tony Bellew have been amongst the most scathing with their criticism.
And that led Fury to respond with: “See these motherf***ing balls? Lick them b***h.
“The fact that Bellew and Froch didn’t make any money out of the game is obviously hurtful to them.

“I’ve just signed the biggest deal in boxing history, which I can’t divulge to you right now.
“They’re like all these media suckers, mention Tyson Fury’s name to try and get some clickbait.
“But without me, there ain’t no f***ing boxing. I run the game.”
However, Froch has now upped the ante and hit back at Fury on his Froch On Fighting YouTube channel.

He said: “Alright, you’re taking the money, that’s great, but when your career’s over you want your legacy to be intact.
“The fans are turning against you – it’s sad to see.
“Deep down I think you know you’re hurting the sport.
“You’re taking the money instead of being full of pride for the sport.”
Froch then added: “I’ll tell you something as well – you can have as much money as you want, but if you turn up to a Hall of Fame party next year, you won’t be dining on the top table with me and my peers.
“You won’t belong there with that CV.”
