      Tyson Fury’s uncle takes huge swipe at brother John as he slams lack of ‘professionalism’ for Oleksandr Usyk fight

      TYSON FURY’S uncle and former trainer Peter hit out at the lack of “professionalism” shown in the corner against Oleksandr Usyk.

      ANTHONY JOSHUA sent Carl Froch have been involved in a very public, very bitter public row – and now you can listen to AJ’s brutal voice note to his rival.The two were once friends and training partners at Team GB’s Sheffield HQ. Carl Froch played out a voicenote sent from Anthony JoshuaCredit: YouTubeJoshua and Froch were locked in a feudCredit: GettyBut in retirement, Froch has become an outspoken pundit not afraid to criticise the likes of AJ and Tyson Fury. Joshua and Froch then went back-and-forth with WhatsApp messages at the peak of their feud.But things look to have cooled down as AJ sent in a question for Froch on his YouTube channel – despite aiming a dig.Joshua said: “What’s happening? How’s your week going? How’s your podcast going? READ MORE IN BOXING”Quick question – when you boxed Jean Pascal for your first world title in Nottingham, Tyson Fury actually made his pro debut on that card, you fought for a vacant title right?“So you didn’t beat a champion. What do you feel about that? Do you feel that you was regarded a champion because you fought for a vacant one? “So the title not being there, it would have just been a normal fight. But they threw a title in the air and you became champion.“You didn’t beat a champion, to become champion if you get what I mean. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS”Do you feel like that win is, not irrelevant, but it’s not highly regarded the same as if you was to have gone and beat a world champion?

Carl Froch adds fuel to fire of Anthony Joshua feud with big claim and says Daniel Dubois fight could be his lastAnd in response to Joshua, he said: “Did I feel like world champion? I had the green and the gold belt. “When I woke up and saw the belt at the bottom of my bed in the morning, I felt like a world champion. “I know what he means. I didn’t beat the champion to become the champion. That’s probably why he conveniently didn’t ask about the IBF title.”Froch won the IBF belt in 2012 against Lucian Bute and later unified it with the WBA version against Mikkel Kessler.
